Five go galloping to Greece Gallery
An emergency stop was made in Italy on the return journey when the transformer fell through the floor of the centre on Set No 3 after going over a large bump in the road. This isn’t a problem as long as one has some steelwork, Charles, a welder (Bimbo) and David and his generator. ALL: BRETT GRAHAM
A busy evening for Brett Graham’s Set No 2 in front of the mayor’s office at Kotzia Square.
The workhorses: (from left) ERF EC380 (B1 MDO); Renault (P39 OVW); ERF E10 325 (F716 VCP); ERF E10 325 (G3 BKG) and ERF E10 325 (D875 BRY).
The rides are popular by day and night, Note the Greek-worded pay kiosk.
Set No 1, a 40ft diameter Savage set of 1890, joins the festive spirit in Syntagama Square, Athens.
Greeks obviously enjoy ‘Traditional English Victorian Galloping Horses’ as stated on the rounding board.
David Wallis’ 36ft Mardi Gras ride at Petroula Square, Kolonos.
Christmas in Kotzia Square.
Brett Graham’s set at dusk.
Charles Drakley’s 42ft diameter Savage set of 1920 at Kipsely.
Time for lunch for everyone just west of Lyon, France, on the return leg.
Brett’s ride was built in 1994 by Lol Bishton and family but utilised many original Savage parts.
