After looking at some of the other photos, I think Finlay Maclean is the man with the blue bag. Not Derek Mackenzie as I previously thought Comment left on 23 September 2016 at 14:07 by Chris MacDonald

This photo reminds me of how far I used to lag behind the rest of the planting squad on Panmure estate, the head forester expected a lot from a forwarder driver.! Comment left on 29 September 2017 at 11:23 by Leslie Phillip
