Power of the past Rally 2003 Report

Power Of The Past Rally 2003

Once again this was an excellent working Rally with something for everyone. This year there was a number of "Living Vans" on show as well as the usual working displays of thrashing wood cutting etc with Steam. There was a nice selection of Stationary engines this year as well as a large number of working tractors and horticultural implements, all in all a really worthwhile Rally for the general public to attend.

A very nice 1925 3hp Amanco. This is a petrol paraffin model driving a Climax No 2 pump owned by Paul Arlidge from Maldon. This is an unusual 1915 Bentall 7-9hp engine owned by J Golding from Stowupland. A very rare 1892 Crossley 2 Hot Tube engine owned by M Eckton from Epping Yours truly with the Fuller kindly taken by Dave Cragie

This is a tiny little 1924 Frank Hartop .5hp Type S driving a Lister sheep shearing rig. This was owned by D Chadwick from Wymondham. Here is Dave Craigie's 1934 Lister D driving a Liner no 3 Sludge pump. Dave is from Reydon. This is close to my heart as I have one myself. This is a 1941 Lister D driving an H2 pump used as an orchard sprayer. This is owned by M Kendall from Halesworth This was not as program but it looks like a Tank cooled Lister A driving a Godwin pump.

A truly wonderful restoration is this fully working 1945 Lister CS startomatic owned by J Rudd from Heacham. A very nice 1939 Lister D generator set owned by Colin Cracknell from Gt Henny This is a 1929 5hp Petter S type driving a Fairbanks Morse Centrifugal pump. Owned by Tom Fisher from Alresford. Another Petter this is a 1935 21hp S type owned by P Neave from Smallburgh.

A very nice 1930 Ruston & Hornsby ZPR 1.25hp driving its onboard Pump. This is owned by K Miller from Bacton. I have photographed this engine before but it is worth a second look. This is a 1914 3hp Stickney owned by S Lindsay from Ickleford A very good Thrashing demonstration This was a big Petter S owned by Bill Kemball who owns the land that the Rally took place on.

Always wanted one of these, an American Hummer. However at nearly 8 feet wide, they are a bit impractical over here. This is Dave King with his authentic Army radio station complete with 27ft mast Another great working display of a saw bench. These guys were having fun with their tank on the assult course.
