Some very nice windmills there Alan, getting into Norfolk just seems like "stepping back in time" to me, everything seems so laid back and quiet in your County.
Just the same at Stradsett rally last weekend near Kings Lynn, Norfolk, the highlight for me was seeing a tractor come out of the barn to attend the show, it was 1974 since I last saw this tractor sat on a trailer at the show near Kings Lyn, it does not seem 40 years to me since I saw one of possibly two remaining original import to the UK Big Bull tractors, sold in England as the Whiting Bull, Mr Whiting being the agent who shipped them across and sold them here in England.
This tractor has been sitting in the barn for years and many people have tried to buy it, the new (4th) owner now is a local resident so the tractor stays in the County it went new to, he has replaced some of the rotten chassis iron frame and continues the mechanical restoration and soon hopes to have it running again. We look forward to seeing it out and parading under it's own power, last weekend it was towed round the parade ring with the West's family I-H 8-16 Junior.
This veteran tractor attracted a lot of interest at the show from both enthusiasts and visitors.
Malcolm.
