Grey Fergie picture featured in Haynes manual

28th May 2011
Another subject I've enjoyed photographing is tractors especially the older rarer ones. These are visible on my site and one day I was contacted by someone who claimed to be preparing a book on the history of the Ferguson TE-20 tractor or as it's more commonly known the "Grey Fergie".

The book was to be published by Haynes who are well known for their workshop maintenance manuals for most cars. He asked if he could include some of my pictures in this book and in return I would receive a free copy. I agreed to this and forgot all about it. A year or so later the said book arrived in the post featuring one of my pictures on page 137.





The chosen picture is of the Grey Fergie parked outside The Barn cafe at Scorton near Garstang. Unfortunately it hasn't come out so well in the book. The original picture is shown below.




Thanks to Neil of The Barn, Scorton.
