Very nice even the tyres look shiny

Apparently the ' new field' by the water authority entrance will have a double decker bus on it! Wonder if people will take ladders upstairs?

I hope John appoints a 'prefect' or something to ensure there is no ladder abuse.

That last one illustrates why I don’t do this hobby nearly as much as I used to.
Seems crazy to think there were times when I’d be at Coltishall all on my own…..

Would've been even funnier if John had hitched up his tractor and towed the trailer away, with them all on it :lol:

Not much parking space ATM, But like Slogen said, apparently an open top bus will be parked there for spotters to use, and a charge of £1-50 per person I've heard ???
Hopefully more car parking space will open up.
Any extra places for us to use has got to be a good thing.
Dave.
