Mr Ender Rudolf from Germany or Austria toured around some Forestry Commission sites in Scotland in 1954 and on his return appears to have compiled a photographic album of his visit. He must have copied some of the pages of photographs and returned at least 15 pages to Scotland.

Three pages are shown with nine photographs covering cultivation in either the Forests of Ae or Elibank. This image most likely from Elibank gives another view of a robust looking RLR single furrow plough parked possibly at the bottom and area where it had worked previously. Difficult to see the ploughing in detail but looks consistent and well spaced. Note the large side with wheel which could be a stabiliser or could be a furrow packer but not really in correct position?
