I’m led to believe that this was at Yeovilton during the ski jump development.
A Saturday morning after the night before saw the VAS lads give it a whirl.... rumour has it that “What could possibly go wrong?”, were the parting words as the Massey Ferguson began its run up

the original with the tractor and Lightning reversed is arguably more impressive
I can't post links or URLs, but if you Google "Jim Meads on Sep. 13, 1962" you'll find it - and the story

Here's the original Lightning crash from 1962.
It was a Lightning F1 which crashed on final approach to Hatfield on 13 Sep 62 whilst engaged in Red Top trials.
The photographer was paid GBP $1,000 for the photo - GBP 26,738 in 2024 money - and the MOD tried to put a "D" Notice on it.

At Linton, when I had aspirations to be a member of the Two Winged Master Race, my handling was described by the CFI as ‘agricultural’!!! 🤔 Now it all makes sense!!! 🚜😁
PS…Finningly finally brought me to my senses!!! 😎
