[bigstraight6]

I'm new to this forum, and by way of introduction heres some recent sightings

First up, a few pics of some fairground survivors at Paignton seafront back in August, ERF B series:

Nice looking ERF A series 8 legger:

Foden 4000 series:

True British classic, Gardner powered Atkinson:

Now some pics from the Winkleigh open day a few weeks ago, this Bedford TK unit must be a late one on a 1984/5 'B' plate:

Still being used for graft Unimog:

Sorry looking AEC 6x6 recovery truck:

Industrial tug device:

Karrier Bantom:

One of my favourite light vans is the Bedford HA:

Plenty of old buses on site, thankfully many of the ongoing resto projects are undercover in a former aircraft hanger:

There are many stored outside, like this great Leyland:

Inside another shed was this splendid Leyland Octopus:

With this stunning AEC Mammoth Major for company:

Rotten BMC:

Rode on this Leyland into the village:

Lovely patina of age Bedford:

Hi Rick, Winkleigh is a small mid Devon Village which has a former RAF airfield closeby, which happens to be the base for some preservation groups, normally closed to Joe public, they have an open day once a year
