Nice photos,
I arrived later than expected so missed the Priestman working but the sound of the D8 pulling the 435G great, and the sun was out.

Thanks Mick
I saw that machine down at Demo Expo earlier in the year; that is only one of two that I am aware of anyway, the other being the SE Davis machine.

Hi Jeremy and Mick,
I know of three 983s .
These are with S. E. Davies, Russell Seywell and Skillings.I think Skillings is the only B series machine in the country.
Pic. of Russells machine I took last year below.

Yes. It belongs to Tom Atherton himself, he was driving it when I took the pics.
