Nowhere big enough to be a Super Major. Bears a slight resemblance to a Fordson Dexta, but no cigar there, either.

In the "Fear of Landing" link it states that the tractor was a Fordson Power Major. I said that in post #6.

From the" fear of landing link".......

The tractor in the photograph was a Fordson Super Major. If you look closely at the grill, youå€¤l see it reads D H Goblin, as in the de Havilland Goblin jet engine.

So now you guys are arguing over who was right first?

Only on TBN, folks.

No one is arguing..... Rickie.
If you want to see an argument, go to the politics forum. A little reading there, and you will soon be able to identify and argument. It's like identifying a tractor, only easier.
What type of tractor is it?

I think the aircraft is an English Electric Lightning.

And the pilot ejected way too close to the ground.

Better late than never

And he broke both legs when he landed in the greenhouse too.
If you read the story, he didn't have much time, a split second decision was made, and he made it. In a year he was back flying the same type.

The type of tractor would be a wheel tractor, Bobbie. The make & model have been determined.
