Today see the Horham Bygones, Beer & Craft show at the small village of Horham, a small Suffolk village that really is the arse end of nowhere.
Bit of background on Horham and the BBC. During WW11 Horham was actually quite a large USAF base, home to the 95th bg much of this is still in existence, including the Red Feather Club:

There is also a museum at the old hospital:

And a memorial that I was part of construction alongside my father in the early 80’s.
The event nowadays is a lot smaller then the old “Country Fair” of the 90’s but even so a good little selection of engines and bikes were on display.
Dan Meads was there giving his lovely PU4 a shake down run. This is the first time I’ve seen this since its repaint and I must say its looking rather lovely.
A rather nice looking Vincent sat hidden in the grass and did run for a short while just after I took the photos so I missed that actually running.
Sat beside this was a not often seen Coventry that actually had a lovely burble when running, this was the 2nd of 3 flat twins at the show, the 3rd being Neil Claydon and his Maytag
The Lister D was there in good numbers, at least one of these will be at Petterfest this year.
Plus this year there is a chance to win a model Lister D at #Petterfest this year as we are having a raffle for the engine posted below.
Other engines there today included a Petter A, known as the 108th one off the production line, a petrol/paraffin AP1 Petter, unusual as these are normally badged as a VO.
A lovely Stuart Turner R2Y gen set sat beside me
Plus this gave me a chance to give my Blue Appletop a decent run after fitting a bigger pump, must admit I’m very happy with how that turned out, actually ran spot on all day
Rest of the engine are added below.
