A typical 1950’s winter farmyard scene in the East Riding of Yorkshire. After harvest the farmer has built two corn stacks, leaving a gap for a threshing machine which usually arrived in winter, when a contractor was available. Steam traction engines had powered threshing machines from the late 19th. century but increasingly tractors took over the job in the 1930’s. Threshing sets were made obsolete with the introduction of combine harvesters in the 1960’s - they both cut and threshed the corn in one operation. In the picture a Fordson Major E27N tractor is driving a Foster threshing machine (which is separating grain from straw and chaff) and an elevator raising straw to the straw stack. A Ferguson tractor is arriving with a trailer to collect the sacks of grain. The Fordson tractor is fitted with a Perkins P6 engine conversion and was new to Peter Garbutt, Bleak House Farm, Sunk Island, North Humberside in 1951 (now owned by Cohn Johnston of Patrington). The Threshing Drum was built by William Foster and Co. Ltd. of Lincoln in 1945 (No. 8219). New to Harry Hood, Cowlam, Nr. Driffield, it was acquired by Dick Sellars of Aldbrough in 1990. The Elevator was built by Albert Stephenson, Threshing Contractors of Withernsea and Halsham in the 1940’s, and now owned by Steve Turner. Frank Perkins started producing diesel engines at Peterborough in the 1930’s. A Standard Fordson tractor was fitted with a diesel engine in 1937 and during the 1939/45 war development of a new range of engines (the P series) began. Cleverly designed in 3, 4 and 6 cylinder versions using common parts, production and development costs were greatly reduced. The P6 engine, of 4.73 litre capacity and developing 46 bhp at 1500 rpm proved an ideal conversion for the Fordson E27N tractor and was available already fitted straight from the factory or as a conversion pack. With the Perkins engine the Fordson tractor had power enough to drive a threshing drum and elevator.

A waggoner and his horses and spindle-sided waggon loaded with sacks of corn, waits to pull out of a farmyard in Lincolnshire in the early 1900's. A Marshall threshing drum is separating grain from straw and chaff. Two men are pitching sheaves to a "band cutter" and "feeder" standing on top of the machine. Emerging grain is fed into sacks, weighed, raised on a winding barrow and loaded onto the waggon. Straw is carried upwards at the rear of the threshing machine to men building a stack, which when complete will be thatched to keep out the rain.
The "straw jack" and threshing machine are driven by a 6hp single cylinder general purpose traction engine manufactured by William Marshall Sons & Co. of Gainsborough in 1894. The Brittania Iron Works was founded in 1848 by millright Henry Marshall and after his death in 1861 was managed by his two sons James & Henry. The company's products became well known all over the world and included portable and stationary steam engines, traction engines, boilers, threshing machines, agricultural and tea making machinery and famously, "Field Marshall" diesel powered tractors.
The engine was supplied to Tom Stamp of Linwood, Market Rasen, Lincs. who owned 14 traction engines, used for threshing, ploughing and cultivating. The story goes that when the new 6hp Marshall engine arrived, standing alongside the large ploughing engines, someone commented that it looked like a teapot! The name stuck and the engine still bears the name "Teapot" on a brass plate.

A grain Merchant's lorry is being loaded with sacks of corn from a threshing machine some time in the late 1950's. A 1954 Nuffield tractor fitted with a Perkins P4 38hp diesel engine is driving a Foster threshing machine which is separating corn from straw and chaff. The corn is collected in sacks from the front of the threshing machine, weighed, raised on a winding barrow and then loaded onto the Bedford Lorry.
Vauxhall Motors started producing Bedford vans and lorries in the early 1930's and during the second world war supplied over 250,000 lorries to the armed forces. The M series 2-3 ton lorry shown in the painting was introduced after the war and was available in many different versions (this is the long wheelbase drop-sided model, the MLD). Production continued until 1953.
The tractor is also driving a 1946 Welsh built "Jones" baler - stationed at the rear of the threshing machine. It compacted straw which was then tied with wire into convenient packs for use as animal bedding etc.

Harvesting at Green Farm, Waddington, in the mid-1960’s as two Vulcan bombers fly overhead. The farm set on the Lincoln edge, a limestone escarpment running north-south through Lincolnshire commands views over the Trent and Witham valley to the west and the City of Lincoln 5 miles to the north. In the painting Lincoln Cathedral can be seen on the horizon with part of Waddington village on the right. The buildings of Green Farm stand in front of St. Michael’s Church, rebuilt in 1953 after being destroyed by German bombing in the Second World War. The 1964 Massey Ferguson 500 combine with 94bhp Perkins engine and 12ft. cut table is discharging grain into a trailer pulled by a Massey Ferguson 35 tractor. The Canadian farm machinery company Massey Harris bought out Fergusons in 1954 and produced its first red and grey tractor in 1957 when it changed its name to Massey Ferguson. The Air Force base lies to the east of the village and was opened in 1916 as a flying training station. The base was rebuilt in the mid 1930’s and during the Second World War flew Hampden, Manchester and Lancaster bombers. After the war with the advent of the jet age the main runway was rebuilt to accommodate Canberra bombers and in I 957 the Avro Vulcan delta winged heavy bomber. The aircraft was designed to fly at medium/high level and carry a free-fall nuclear bomb, however when a ‘cold war’ started with Eastern Europe in the 1960’s, tactics had to change when the Soviet Union developed a surface-to-air missile. The free-fall bomb was replaced with an air launched nuclear missile - the Blue Steel. The Vulcan bomber would fly at low level to avoid radar, then climb to release a missile when 25 miles from the target. Training for low level flying began in 1963 and the characteristic white paint scheme was changed to dark green and grey camouflage of the low-level bomber. - Eventually Britain’s nuclear deterrent was transferred to nuclear powered submarines. The Vulcan bombers were to be retired in 1982 when it looked as though the aircraft would never be used in war. Then famously, Vulcan bombers flew from RAF Waddington to bomb targets in the Falkland Islands after the military invasion by Argentina. One of the Vulcan bombers used in the war, XM607, stands proudly as gate guardian at RAF Waddington. In its later specification powered by 4 Rolls Royce Olympus engines (20,000 lb thrust) and 111 ft. (33.8m) wingspan the aircraft was an awesome sight (and sound) over the flat Lincolnshire landscape.
