At Malvern, Stuart Cox kindly brought me an old magazine article about a chap in Godalming that had a complete sand skimming tractor and a dumper , both of which he planned to restore with a view to displaying them together. The man’s name was David Smith and he was described as a farm and horticultural equipment collector. Does anyone know of this man or if the machine still exists.
I can see why Jonathon thought it was going to be a big job to restore his skimmer now! F&HEC used to have some really good articles and it’s still a shame that it was killed off.
That was lucky number had changed but guessed what it might be and struck lucky first call. Spoke to his son says he still has a dumper but thinks skimmer was scrapped will talk to David himself in the morning.
