...well, you figure out the punchline.  Anyway, the tank museum seems to be planning quite a convoy for the Great Dorset Steam fair:

Should be neat to watch!  If someone goes, could you get us some photos?

It's already happened... Some of my photographs on my Facebook page (open to public so you should all be able to see).

If you go to the Great Dorset Steam Fair Facebook page they posted a video of the tractor hauling a replica howitzer today.

I'm there from tomorrow evening onwards, can't wait. It'll be worth it for the Holt alone as I've never seen one before

Well.... That was incredible. Probably the biggest gathering of WW1 motor vehicles alone in preservation. Halley bus, Halley lorry, Napier, Pierce Arrow, Thornycroft x2, GMC, Nash, FWD, Holt, International Harvester, Ford x several, Fiat, Locomobile.... Oh and x2 Foden steam lorries and umpteen traction engines with war history
