One of my tractors with a girl's name, Dotty, named after a close friend who team taught with Ann 50 years ago. Later moved on to become head of educational aids at the Tower of London.

Professional curiosity: Is than an antenna farm in the background? If so, for what?

Transmitter and monitoring station at Wofferton near Leominster. Built during WW2 and used to monitor Russian radio and television during the Cold War. Now in private hands.

F14, probably for global positioning for auto steer on the tractor.

For a change I got those furrows dead straight, so I could have been tuned in to it!!!! Another picture from the same day was used as a tractor magazines front page, when I wrote an article on petrol Dextas for them. My friend is on another petrol, just out of picture. On that one, they had to airbrush the masts out, wonder if they did it for security reasons when I read the history of that site. This picture is early 2000's

Quite an antenna farm they have there.

I suspected as much. I was in the same line of work for the Navy for 20+ years.

Must pre-date the Essex Tri Directional...
