can any one help im trying to trace the history of two fowler traction engines Fowler no 13880 Built 1917 Class aa6 16nhp 2 gears compound cylinders Reg # NO371
Fowler no 18885
the top engine may be scrapped mostly after the engine history Previous owners ETC
could be that the engines were being transported secretly(so far off shore)to some where further south(small ship)possibly to be taken to france??? have you found out what shipping restrictions road restrictions etc were in place ??

Taken from the Official GDSF site:
Quote:
Michael's funeral will take place in his home village of Child Okeford in Dorset at 2pm on Tuesday 15th December in St Nicholas Church.
Due to the large numbers expected to pay their respects to Michael we would ask that you please car share where ever possible as parking is limited. Please follow the directional signs to the appropriate parking area where a park and ride system will operate.
If at all possible please could you e-mail julian.hubbuck@gdsf.co.uk or call the show office on 01258 860361 to let us know if you will be attending the funeral as we would like to get approximate numbers of people attending.

It is very sad news indeed. My condolences go out to Martin and Family. He will be greatly missed but the legacy he has left behind in the form of GDSF means he will never forgotten.
RIP Michael
