Bedford Steam and Country Festival




One of the main reason for going to Bedford was the return of the two sister engines, 'Linkey' and 'Sevington'. They have not been together for a number of years, let alone working together. Most ploughing engines were indeed made in pairs and this was the occasion to see them at their best.

I thought that I would publish the other photo of 'Linkey' loaded in the lorry park at Bedford on Sunday evening ready for departure.

The 'Mack' was driven by Ed, one of Mark Jones's work associates who has indeed got the appropriate licence to drive this unit. On arrival incidental we found that the Mack had a puncture in the rear nearside tyre. As this in an American left hand drive truck, the wheels and tyres are also American and non standard to this country. Fortunately it was the inner tube that had the puncture and a repair was effected.
