The 47th R.W. Thomson rally will be held on Sunday 29th June 2014 at Mineralwell Park in Stonehaven which is only around 15 miles from me.The rally was first held in 1967 to honour R.W Thomson (1822 -1873) from Stonehaven the inventor of the pneumatic tyre in 1845. Its not a huge rally but weather permitting I'm planning taking along my 1951 Farmall Cub.

I never got loaded up on the Saturday afternoon or evening because of rain but when I got up on the Sunday morning it looked fair and the forecast was better. However at 7am I did not think my neighbour's would appreciate being woken by the noise of a tractor starting at that time on a Sunday morning so I headed to Stonehaven as a spectator.

The body was made by a local body builder which ceased trading many many years ago.

Winner of the tractor class and the Green Goblet was a 1948 Reekie Vineyard Fergie.
