A Facebook "memory" from this day in 2022 titled "A day at the Great Dorset Steam Fair". A montage of 5 photos of showman's steam engines, the last one overlain with "+44"

I think this was the last ever Great Dorset Steam Fair.
A sad loss.
I remember being taken by my Dad when I was young, and taking our children when they were little.
