The Norfolk Internal Combustion Engine (N.I.C.E.) Society’s annual Vintage Fayre, which took place on Sunday 21 May, was yet again another fantastic event blessed with warm sunny weather.
The event was held for the 5th year at the Rackheath Village Hall in Norwich and attracted some lovely exhibits of a huge variety, including an impressive line up of 71 stationary engines. There was a constant stream of public attending the event and I believe it was the most successful year yet for this increasingly popular one day rally.

Lister Conundrum?
Back in 2016 a discussion took place on Fozzer’s Forum about early Lister J type engines; as I have a very early Lister 2 ½ hp, I was interested and took part in the discussion. I have always had an interest in Lister engines, having nine in my shed, all of which are restored, except a spec 52 Lister A. I had never delved into the history of these engines as I considered that just about everything was known about them, through the work done by the late David Edgington, and information is readily available.

Some engines have remained unidentified for a number of years – unless YOU, the reader, know differently….!
Coventry Victor Stationary/Marine Engines
Following a comment in the January edition of Stationary Engine, that Coventry Victor engines were rarely seen on our rally fields and as I have a liking for these engines (and flat twins), I have put together a short article based on my three examples.
Turner Manufacturing Co- Simplicity Engines
Having seen the little vertical Simplicity engine on the front cover of the October 2017 issue of Stationary Engine, where the name Western Malleable & Gray Iron Company, Milwaukee cast into the flywheel rim, is clearly legible, I decided the manufacturer required further investigation
Christmas Crank-Ups Riccall
Winter crank-ups and open days have become increasingly popular in recent years and one of the biggest I have ever attended was held in the village of Riccall, near York on Saturday 30th December.
Petter Standard Oil Engine
I am sure that the Petter Handyman engine will be a familiar sight to many engine enthusiasts, but the same cannot be said for the ‘Petter Standard Oil Engine’; the engine on which the Handyman engine was designed.
Clarendon Rally- Australia
Whilst on a recent trip to visit my family in Australia I took the opportunity to visit, with my son, the well known Clarendon Classic, Machinery, Truck and Hobby Show, which has been held for many years at the Hawkesbury Showgrounds, on Racecourse road, Clarendon, NSW on the weekend of the 16/17th September 2017.
