Great looking set up. Hope to see some, or all of it at Ufford.

Yup, looking forward to Ufford, not sure if I will take my Eccles, bit concerned peeps will think I'm the burger van Vauxhall is awaiting the laying on of hands at the Scole car hospital, top end overhaul and new piston rings.

Looking forward to seeing both at Ufford, please.

Thanks for sorting the caravan link Eccles. Weather permitting I will be bringing along my caravan this year to Ufford.

wow!! I have to admit to not liking caravans (a childhood spent doing that was enjoyable but that's my limit) but that is quite something (in a good way!)

It will have to be towed behind a modern unfortunately, the pre war iron has gone now. (Hope Ufford is on next year).

Thank you, and the Duke also.
It has a paraffin cooker c/w oven, a nod to modernity and comfort. Have to confess I use a modern two burner calor hidden up in the caravan.
I use the caravan for stoping over long weekends at steam rallies, absolutely freezing start of season and near end season as well, no heating and very draughty. Wife refuses to join me, can’t imagine why

Yup, hidden under a cover at the time.
Apparently ‘Angela’ the company who built it as a prototype, by time it was completed to satisfaction the style was outdated by the new streamlining entering into fashion around 1928/9. Also it was far to expensive to build, so that’s it, just this one. It’s a lot lighter than my old Eccles far easier to move around.
