Haddenham Steam Rally (7th - 8th September, 2024)
This is one of a series of pages I have uploaded to illustrate facets of the steam rallies we have attended in the UK. Click here for the 2024 introduction and overall index.
Unless there is a special reason (e.g. the 2024 Bressingham Portables event) or over 40-50 engines for certain then a rally like Haddenham, frankly, is too far to go for us. So yet again I am extremely grateful to Paul Gilbey who has provided this set of pictures so I can enjoy a 'virtual' steam rally and share it with fellow enthusiasts. Rather more engines were present than in recent years albeit there was a definite feeling of déjà vu about the general engines as of the 19 present no less than 16 had attended the Weeting Rally back in July! Perhaps it's not too surprising as the two are not quite 30 miles apart. Hence Paul's comment below:
"It was very grey for most of the day but it was pleasantly warm. Nothing new for me this year regards steam engines. However, there was plenty to see with a good number of entries in all sections. a particularly strong display of stationary engines with 93 listed in the programme which was excellent and included text on an interesting display in a marquee on the Fenland floods of 1947 along with a Buffalo LVT which was recovered from the fens in April 2021 outside."
