Thanks for the photos Rob.

I second that motion love the AEC Marshal in the first photo, there's been a lot of hard work and TLC put into these old trucks.

You're welcome.
There were lots more oldies but you've had those in previous years!
Absolutely packed out - there's some drone footage on youtube - so didn't see anywhere near all of it. There were many notable absentees which was a shame but there was a definite feeling of 'the end'. They were pushing the new site at Lincoln but I think as it's the premiere show it should have moved more towards the midlands so for me I suspect 'the end' has arrived. Might look at one of the regional shows next year perhaps.
Camping was disappointing though. We were about tenth through the gate on Friday lunchtime to get a good spot and were placed in a swamp against the furthest fence away from the show. There was a lot of anger from many over this but the ground was so wet once parked we weren't going anywhere. If we'd turned up last minute Saturday afternoon then it would have been all but on the show field.
I could get stroppy and say I won't go again! Err...

Nice pics, done a few shows this year and what hits me now is the advanced age of most exhibitors!
I know generally people don't get into ' nostagia ' till they are in their 40s but i wonder if there are enough 40 somethings coming through to keep it all going.

Still how many preserved Bedford TKs does a country need
