Suppose they can only show what people are willing to bring along,
Jason do you have any idea what that largish horizontal engine is that is partly seen to the left of the Whittle V8 ? It looks like a decent size and quite attractive from the bit I can see.

I'm holding one of his castings to ransom Mike Jo
Hi Jo, I was unaware that you were undergoing surgery, how are you now?Are you still at *!* or have you managed to “escape”?Contrary to what you have heard, GMES are not dropping the Rally, however we are "Re-Branding” it as the Gala and making changes to make it fit better with the needs & wants of our stakeholders.Entry will now be free & we are cutting out some of the large fixed costs to make this sustainable.We will still have traders & the exhibitions. Hopefully we will see you there on the 7th/8th July.Kind RegardsCP
Mud wrestling! A case of “ Horses for courses “ though.... I’d agree with you regarding propeller’s.A story that came to mind was back in the late 70’s in the days when folk could afford to rally really big engines. A majestic single flywheel Crossley was ticking over slowly and not being properly levelled removed its flywheel from the crankshaft. The flywheel then proceeded to run along the grass between the fence and engines on display. Several yards later a slightly forward Bentall Pioneer stopped its progress abruptly. The only casualty was the Bentall, an unusually constructed engine built by bolting two halves together, it broke in half.Cheers Graham.
I guess the answer would be to not take as many to display and take them home at the end of the day
I can live without the insurance and I would be happy to take my display home at the end of each day. So Jo, as you are a member of the Guildford Club (and any other club members) can you start canvasing the committee to provide us die-hards with a number of open air display benches and even some garden gazebos to keep the damp stuff away. That way we can maintain the spirit of the show and who knows what may happen in the future.
