Massey Quiz Time

I friend of mine found this pic after listening to NPR program.  Can you name both famous people in the picture?  The tractor is obviously a Massey Ferguson 35X and I don't have a clue as to the name of the dog!

Could that be my elusive Ferguson tipping trailer in the background??

You have to name both people!!

Once we get past this one I will have another one for you!!

I have seen the infamous picture of the pin-up Bettie Page on the Massey Harris but I have never seen tis one!!

RE:Massey Quiz Time

Is it Paul McCartney and Jane Asher and sheepdog "Martha" ?

RE:Massey Quiz Time

Good job Greg!!

I don' know about Martha but Jane and Paul are correct.  Rumor has it the picture was taken on Pauls farm in Scotland.

Here is a little about Jane.  I am sure our friends across the pond could add to her resume.  She as done weel for herself!

The picture was taken in the early stages of the Beatles while Jane was Paul’s main squeeze (1963-1968).  In fact, Paul moved into the family home of the Ashers when he moved to London.  He lived in an attic room for three years! 
 
Some of the great early songs were written in the Asher home and many were attributed to Jane and her family.  They include: "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "Yesterday", "I’m Looking Through You", "Wednesday Morning",  "Here, There And Everywhere", "All My Loving", "We Can Work It Out", "Martha My Dear,"
 
Of course, it all ended when she found him in bed with another woman!
 
She went on to become an actress (one you might remember would be “Alfie”), and is TV celebrity and philanthropist in Great Britain.  She is also as her name behind specialty cakes shops and kitchenware, as well as publishing three best-selling novels.
 
If you watch much TV you might see her on the “The Great British Bake Off”
 
She has rarely ever talked about her life as a Beatle sqeeze!

RE:Massey Quiz Time

I can say I have never seen this picture so maybe it needs to move up above the Betie Page pic in celebrity/Massey status!!   

RE:Massey Quiz Time

Paul is probably using that cane a little more these days. 
Didnt realize she was the Bake Off official.  She's apparently well known for her baked goods.  Wonder if she got her start on a Massey Harris oven?
