Northallerton turned out nice again. This was the only
the second year for the event but it was supported well by both vehicles and
public. It was an 80 minute drive to cover the 47 miles there, heading
straight down the A167 and A68 to Northallerton. Most of my pictures were
taken soon after arriving, before the public started getting in the way. The
highstreet had a constant stream of people walking up and down all day and
several shops and cafes had also opened to make the most of the crowds.
In addition to the military vehicles, there was a good selection of vintage
cars and three traction engines. There was also a big piece of farm machinery,
possibly a threshing machine, but more accurately described as the chomping,
clanking, whirring, spinning, jiggling machine.
We probably could have had a few more military vehicles there, but several
local owners are still on their way back from the Normandy commemorations. The
organisers seemed very pleased with the way the day went and with the turnout
so no doubt it will be back for a third year in 2020.
