RN Stand at Allippo Fair, 1950
Can any of our readers translate the Arabic? Or provide any more details of the Allippo Fair?
Pallistan (something) Industries Fair, September/October 1950
The original photograph has on the back an unreadable word between Pallistan and Industries Fair! The engines appear to be single cylinder D1s, we wonder if any real fairground wheels used these engines.

An RN installed in Pakistan, application uncertain.

FFC Installation Lahore district Nov1951
Does anyone know who FFC were? And what was this engine used for?
