Hi Ian,

Here are a couple of pictures of tractors. The first one is of a 1960 Ford Powermaster which I believe was used on Mildenhall Airforce base by our American friends during the 1960's and 70's I would really love to see some photographs of the tractor working. The other wee Grey Fergie I believe was used on an Aircraft Carrier or Airfield in the UK, The tractor is a 1958 and could have been around during the 1960's and 70's and I would love any info on it or pictures. Many Thanks again from Scotland, and what an Excellent Site.

Regards

Andrew Hamilton
