Oh thanks Royboy, that is seriously cool. I have seen videos of steam tractors and all before, but never anything like that. Fantastic!
love the steam tractors, thanks!
Yes, must stop for tea and sandwiches....an army marches on its stomach y'know.
Thanks RoyBoy, that was totally enjoyable.

The truly amazing thing is that all the operators are wearing WW1 British uniforms and all the equipment is marked for that. It was a WW1 themed event.
Military vehicles of any type are a huge thing in the UK, the largest military vehicle show on Earth is held in the UK every year...

Totally accurate re-creation of a British WW I vintage convoy!
THANKS for sharing! 
They should have appeared on Downton Abbey! 
This would have been part of the commemorations for the 100th anniversary of WW1 beginning.
