[QUOTE="PuG, post: 7293432, member: 55620"] Sorry not as per say threshing but there use to be an old boy living local to us, im not sure hes still going but when I last spoke to him 4 years ago was fit for his age (in his 90's and still driving). We use to farm near RAF Cleave used mostly as an anti aircraft training field and emergency runway for bombers coming in from the States. There was a small cove called Standbury mouth - during the war they farmed the two fields either side, incredibly steep and he could remember working those fields as a lad, only running the reaper binder down hill holding it on the brake and the military base use to fire of the Bofers guns straight out overhead. Exciting but the horses never appreciated it! [/QUOTE]
