my Favourite the Roadless Ploughmaster,
Because I had one, but sold it very cheap

it was fairly local ,my dad found it in a hedge about 30 years ago when they were worth bugger all and as id always wanted one we got it up together and put it in the shed.
The tin work is surprisingly good, apart from the wings but the engine could do with a set of shells. another when i get round to it job. When David Pantry was doing the spares, he had a book with all the known ones i, so if yours is still around it will probably be in the book.

Was one hell of an event, and well organised. Can’t believe it’s 25 years ago.

I think it's all to do with the relentless passage of time.
The state of my keyring is begining to show just how long it is since we bought a new Ford tractor..

And the load of Elm timber went for pit chocks,
That load we would have got about £150 !!
