awesome

👍

Thank you SOOO Much for uploading this!! I am such a proud Son, as That is my Dad SgtMaj. Vincent who is the Leader, giving the commands of the Parade!! I took part in the parade as a scout and then later as a Cadet in the A.C.F, when my dad was still the leader of the parade up to the time when we moved to Germany in 2004 😃 This is amazing to see!! I'd like to politely ask your name, as maybe my Dad might know you or you may know him? Brilliant that this was recorded!! Thank you once again!! 🎉🎉🎉

Alf was such a lovely man and very talented.

I'm from the US. Does Marlborough still hold fairs like this every year to this day?

Excellent video, great camera work

I can smell the diesel fumes and candy floss happy days

I've just come across this. Absolutely fascinating stuff it really is. Works like a well-oiled machine once all the lorries have parked up in their right places. Can't believe this is 30 years old as well.

Over 20 years after my time working the fairs but done Marlborough and a few others with Edwards from Swindon in 1974. What I remember about them the most was the lack of sleep, double hard craft for sure.

Blimey! I was actually there. I was working for Edwards (Gaff Lad) My only year I worked for Edwards. I had previously done 6 years in the London area with Bottons and Dickie Mott. Great days😊

Great video enjoyed watching

Unusual to see a Bingo stall still operating as most had gone by that time, i recognized a lot of the lorries as i have been taking transport photos for many years.

what a fab piece of history,,well done.,,,those showmen must have had a good deal with erf traction.

20 Years old, I still love ❤ watching these videos.

Love all of your vids - Am producing a History Of The Fun Fair and this is a great missing piece of history

Where did the Zipper go ?????

Another one for more originals - Thank you

What went wrong with Edwards's - They were the best from the West - Everywhere and then in 1992 - GONE !

A&R always have retirement pics of Lord Mountbatten

You could see that Edwards's were in trouble, unloved trailers , Jennings from Devizes had newer !

Am trying to re- build 1.50th originals - Corgi got it all wrong, so thanks for the info here PERFECT.

Loved the music too Ian

Great video btw

Do u have Marlborough summer fairs of 92 and 94?

Lovely video

fab stuff Ian xxxxx

that was just brill any more like that thanks

Comparing this to 1992, 27 years, been a lot of changes. Correct me if I'm wrong Ian, the only machine I think that has continued to appear every year is the Big Wheel, although not always on same position.

Fantastic

Fantastic.

Lovely video good old times and some good old faces

That was a fantastic video Ian, Well done. Brought back lots of memories for me, but the rides are so much faster than I remember them from the fifties and sixties. Pat Nixon (Smith)
