Heddington and Stockley Steam Rally July 2010 part2

On Sunday 4th July I spent some time alone looking round the event, Chris was looking after the engine with his new friend!

Here is a selection from the tractor section.

Chainsaw wood carving was an interesting demonstration, 'Simples'.

Now this I found very interesting, a Rolls Royce Merlin 500 aircraft engine. Designed for the Lancaster Bomber, but this one never did get that far and ended up in Spain for civilian work.

They run the engines up and ideally you need ear and eye protection, but I did not so who gives a shit! The noise was thunderous!

At this event they have tractor pulling, but also garden/horticultural tractors have a go with a mini sledge. Its for kids but they do enjoy it.
