Another 'Levie' fitter with another 'Levie' cab.

Hi NIck,
You should have had some tomato plants in that greenhouse at the top of your yard

Spalding Flower Parade saw it's last one ever held this year - These pictures we believe are from the first one held in 1959

Can any of you remember Albert Upson, a welder at Spalding? Used to strike an arc, then keep it going until the electrode was burnt down without looking at it while he was talking to someone. When he chipped the slag it was as good as most of us could do looking what we were doing.

Did Albert Upson go on to work for Tim Hardy the muck spreading contractor? If so then yes I remember him! But I was only a very young lad at the time. My Dad was very good friends with him

Don't recall him working for Tim, but that doesn't mean he didn't. He did a lot for Fenland Tractors in his spare time. Did your father have half of a set up at Moulton Chapel?

I seem to remember an Albert being at Tim's but I was only a little lad at the time!

No that would be my Uncle (Peter "Soot" Thorpe) at Moulton Chapel. Set up with Dick Hughes? Dick is still set up at Moulton Chapel.

Are you in the machinery game as well?

No only taking photo's of the machinery!

My Dad went down the farming route! Did you know Soot Thorpe then?
