:stop:Apologies guys, when that link opened up on here, it showed the name of the guy who made the video. As I haven't got his permission to use it and as it's a rather embarrassing image of a combine in an even more embarrassing situation, I thought it only right to take it down until I've had chance to speak to him.:unsure:

I'd have thought that if you want to keep the lid on the fact your combine has been involved in a passable recreation of the Somme, the last thing you do is fly a drone over the scene and upload the video to the internet..............:scratchhead::scratchhead:

That's the point, it wasn't his combine, it wasn't the farms own combine (it was a neighbour trying to do them a favour) and the drone man didn't put it on the internet - he sent me a link which my computer couldn't open and when I put it on here, and it opened, it had his personal details on it. I thought it only right to take it down until I cleared it with him.
I would have deleted the thread, but I couldn't find how to do it.
Hope that explains it.

It's not far from here and having seen it, the Somme looks almost desert like:eek:

Jeez, a borrowed combine? It would be bad enough if it was your own, but someone else's? Nightmare........:banghead:

Still in situ according to Twitterati :(
Apparently so - I think the danger of pulling it apart while retrieving it is holding up the recovery.
I'm not at liberty to release the XXX rated video nasty of the incident but here's a couple of pics that give a bit of an insight into the situation...

Not quite in the same league, but here is me and the dog trying to rescue our neighbour last night.
We failed though and another neighbour came over with a 13 tonner later and got it out.

Why would that make them mirror images?
Or is it a just-being-funky option?

From what the Twitterati say it is a pain in the butt, and christened the 'sadida' effect by the selfie lot.

I dont use i phone, so only going off what seemed to be quite a few posts some time ago on Twit'
