Some doubt about the location but written as Moss of Cree. The tractor and the skid Cuthbertson single furrow plough is seen working in similar conditions to that in Flanders Moss. No indication if Moss of Cree was prior to or following the work at Flanders Moss.

I worked for the forestry, ran the Bennan Workshop when Geordie Kirk was ill, worked as a mobile out of Heathhall. Went to Ae to run the R & D Workshop. I went meetings, run by idiots in Edinburgh. The Forestry Commission had everything, brilliant operators, all they lacked was a competent management, when I left, in 1992, there were three managers for every worker. Badly run. badly managed, typical government institution! Comment left on 01 November 2021 at 22:12 by Ronald Hart
