IT'S the 46th year of one of Hampshire's most loved steam shows.

This month will see the return Netley Marsh Steam and Craft Show.

Initially called the 'Puffin' it was set up as a fundraiser for a local church that was in need of repair.

Starting as a one day event it now takes hold of the village and steam fans can enjoy the impressive vehicles for three whole days.

This year will include a selection of vehicles from the Southampton and District Transport Heritage Trust including the bus that was used to carry the Southampton FC players when Southampton won the FA

Cup back in 1976.

There will be around 40 steam engines ranging from miniature, through to working engines and Showmans.

With events in the public arena and including Ken Fox's Wall of Death, there will be lots to keep the whole family entertained.

Tigers Motorcycle Display Team will also show off their skills.

This year's event will be sponsored by the Ringwood Brewery.

It takes place on July 21, 22, and 23.
