Thanks for that. I never knew they had more than one heinkel. That Same tractor was a good one. I drove it when one of them was on holiday and I was really impressed with it. As I was that JD 55O baler.I know exactly who you are talking about and he done some silage for us at the time wrapped in big bags and secured with a rubber ring.he had a couple of zetor crystals which we all christened heinkels.he did indeed have a bonhill combine that got stuck in a field next door to us and I pulled it out with my big,at the time 4wd Ford 7710.
most of their farm got sold off and they ran a haulage fleet for a while including a bonneted Volvo which was very rare.was not them with the cigar issue,maybe one of the many Alston farming families in norfolk
nick…
I remember that one of the Alston farming families had a herd of pedigree Friesian cows that usually did quite well at the shows. That is probably why they could afford the cigars!
Mentioning Alston, the Patterson family rings a few bells in my head too.
