Welcome to the May/June issue of The Vintage Scene

Welcome to the May/June issue. We hope you all enjoyed the Coronation. The cortege of horses and carriages was certainly a sight to behold.

In true British style, the rainfall has been plentiful, but we are hopeful the sun will come through for the summer country shows and rallies. It is time to connect the topper to those vintage tractors for a spot of grass cutting. On the first issue of The Vintage Scene, the front cover picture was of my Dad topping my paddock with his Massey Ferguson 35. It is my ambition to recreate this picture with myself in the seat (not for publishing, I should add!), but first we need to obtain a pto with a square connection which thus far has proved quite difficult. I also need to drag Robin (my other half) away from his eBay purchase, a vintage Honda motorcycle, to get the 35 running again.

This issue, we have a lot of event dates, covering some six pages. We are happy to receive event reports to feature in future issues. Please email these to email h.dodd@vintagescene.co.uk

We would also love to hear from readers with:

• l Tales of bygone years l Tractor and engine restorations l Vintage collections – machinery, tools etc. l Editorial on steam and stationary engines

Have an enjoyable couple of months, and we will see you again in July.
