So,out on a veteran run albeit on my XS. Into a place called Sunk Island, it’s is in East Yorkshire, or as the locals call it Humberside, a lot of this area is below sea level, but pan flat, ideal for flat tankers. Here are a few photos from the start.
The vehicle AP3504 is the only running example of a water cooled, for and aft,4cylinder Douglas in the world.
As I understand. Unless you know better.

We used to have a bloke coming round with a handcart, his battle cry was “ Any old Iron”, he was of course the scrap man. Nowadays in Vintage and Veteran circles the machines are lovingly referred to as, My pile of scrap.Very nice! There’s some really old iron out there!
Just been out for a run around Dovestones reservoir, thought I’d share some of the vista with you peeps.

Doug,
That photo of the Cassowary is one of my favorites. I can’t believe such a beautiful majestic bird as that just wandered into your property! Beautiful!
You folks truly live among some incredible creatures Doug.
Doug,
You have done North Queensland proud.

by a couple of the blindthe 75B is considered the prettiest
Exactly, just up the road from the cafe. The other one is right up at the end of the tarmac road.Look like the end of the derwent dam wall, to be honest only ever been there once when I walked around the ladybower and Derwent.
I normally get as far as fairhomes visitor center on ladybower and the Cornish pasties make me stop!
