    I know that this must have been very hard work, but there is something about this photo and how relaxed they all look, as well as the magnificent scenery, that makes me think it would also have been a great day for all involved...

    Mwahahahaaa! So, what've we got? Looking west or south-west. It's a turf bog. Village on a hill behind. Another village at the foot of the hill with what looks like a public toilet but is probably some sort of municipal building - a school maybe? I shall see what I can find.

  • Niall McAuley said:
    In Google or Bing aerial views, the bogs appear bright orange or brown. To the East of Ballymena, the countryside gets too hilly. I fancy this bog to the West.

    See notes on photo. Tractor is a bit fuzzy on Megazoom but looks like a Fordson Major. Exhaust pipe is outside bonnet on LH side. Dextas came through bonnet. Good write up on Railbuses if you click on above picture.
