The Great Dorset Steam Fair [1991] 

"Listen to the beautiful sound coming out of that chimney"
2023 UPDATE: So I don't know HOW this became my most viewed video, getting over 100,000 and such, but ya's must like your steam machines. Also don't expect more content on the same subject. Old adverts are what I mostly focus on on this channel, but if I come across something of the same thing, I might post it.
On today's episode of random tapes found in a skip, it's the 1991 Great Dorset Steam Fair. This two-hour epic documents the festivities of what Wikipedia claims is "the largest collection of steam and vintage equipment to be seen anywhere in the world". This video is commentated on by the festival co-founder Michael Oliver.
The tape reads (sic):
"Little can be said about the Great Dorset
Steam Fair that has not been said before.
Like Ol' Man River it "just keeps rollin'
along" and gets bigger every year.
Once again our thanks to the staff and
exhibitors of The Great Dorset Steam Fair
for their assistance and cooperation during
the filming."
