I was getting pretty sure I’d not get one of these. A local farmer had agreed to let me film his harvest, and promised to let me know when it would happen. A few days later, out hunting cows, I spotted he had done the deed and I’d missed my chance.
So, yesterday after lunch, last battery running low, I was en route from one former RAF airfield to another, just past the village of Lyneal in Shropshire, when this beauty appeared behind a hedge. Luckily there was space to stop on the lane, and to try my first take-off from the car roof.
It’s a New Holland combine harvester, for anyone who needs to know such things. I might have had a chance to get it offloading into the wagon, but the battery was too low.
