1972 Excalibur Fowler Ploughing Hinkley

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Fowler Ploughing Engine number 14381, affectionately named Excalibur, at Hinkley on the 2nd of September, 1972. Registration number NM 558 adorns the side of this historical steam-powered machine, which was a common sight during the 1970s in rural areas of the United Kingdom. The Fowler Ploughing Engine, a testament to engineering innovation, was designed to provide an efficient solution for large-scale agricultural tasks. Excalibur, with its distinctive red and black livery, is a fine example of the classic design that made Fowler engines so popular. The engine's large flywheel and intricate mechanical components are on full display, adding to its charm and allure. The photograph captures a moment in time when steam power was still a viable and essential part of agricultural transportation. The era of the 1970s, often referred to as the 'Me Decade' or the 'Seventies,' was a time of change and transition, with steam power slowly being replaced by more modern technologies. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our industrial heritage and the role that these remarkable machines played in shaping our history. The William Kerry Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a treasure trove of historical images that offer a unique insight into the past. This particular photograph, with its stunning composition and intriguing subject matter, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in transport history, steam power, or the 1970s.
