Glentress students felling after windblow
Photograph is part of Bill Stoddart’s collection of images taken when he was a lecturer at several Forester Training Schools. The photographs were handed in by his daughter Lilian Allan at the Forestry Memories drop in day at Huntly on 11 June 2010.
Bill has added the names of Ian Richards and Gordon Forbes to this photograph but did not indicate which was which. This photograph appears to have been taken at the same time as 631 and 630 and possibly around 1948. The 5ft raker tooth cross cut saw and what appears to be 6lb Scottish wedge axe seems to be the standard equipment.
There is reference to windblow in 1947 and any more information on this and the two students would be very welcome.
