THE GREAT DORSET STEAM FAIR! Looking back at memories of the GDSF | PART 1 Highlights from 2019
As the August Bank Holiday weekend comes to a close, it’s worth acknowledging one of the biggest and most missed events sadly gone from the heritage calendar in recent years, the magnificent Great Dorset Steam Fair!
Hosted in the fields of Tarrant Hinton, near Blandford Forum in Dorset, this event brought together an enormous collection of steam, showmans, vintage, military and agricultural vehicles, classic cars, bikes, heavy haulage demonstrations and so more much, with fantastic food outlets, models and crafts and entertainment tents and even wartime trenches to explore! The main arena was constantly packed with steam tractions engines, and here’s a look back at my take on one of the last visits to the event when it went ahead pre COVID in 2019. These clips are just a small selection of some of the steam contingent from an enormous show that boasted a colossal collection of steam, showmans, heavy haulage, military and vintage vehicles, classic cars, bikes, agricultural and commercial vehicles, crafts tents, model tents, fairgrounds, stalls and way more, with a site so vast you needed a couple of days to properly explore and do the event justice!
The shows organiser Martin Oliver quoted a mixture of the COVID pandemic, rising costs to host the show, and other factors which have led to the land being up for sale, combined with a rise in anti social behaviour and security challenges which ultimately sealed this brilliant events downfall, and it was truly one of the greats, but do you think there’s a chance it could ever return?

    I love these old war birds a lot because I spent a lot of time working on the engines. We had TF-33 engines which at that time were the newer ones. I loved running them to test them even on a leak test run. I have a lot of seat time in them because I and one ther guy were the only two run men on the base. That meant twelve on and twelve off seven days a week.
