Why did you need to start another thread when you already have one running?

I'm still confused as per the original thread.

Either your grandfather was a crap photographer, or he was shooting the tractor.

He was taking a photo of the plane ad his then next door neighbour was a RAF test pilot flying the pre production lightning.
The tractor was only there as the farmer wanted to work on the field.

Just a case of being in the right place at the right time.
If given the chance, I wouldn't be able to capture a similar image even with the modern cameras. Remember the camera was fully manual, and was big glass plate slides.
