These three men appear to be simple country folk, going about their normal business, but one of them is a murderer. Can you deduce which one from the clues provided? 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dug You might think so at first but is that too obvious? It might be a fiendish red-herring carefully constructed to throw you off the scent! Why can’t Arthur Coalman ever look you in the eye and give a straight answer? And is Major Shotgun really the muddled old buffer he appears to be?

We had a tractor like that when I was a kid. If water was dripping from the radiator, there was cooling water in the engine. If water wasn't dripping from the radiator, you had better top it up quickly because the engine was about to seize. 1 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 That one would suit 1950 onwards. Except that it ought to be blue with orange wheels.... Should actually be like the one in Benbows photo, but you would be correct abandoning it in the barn. Usually this is due to: Faulty magneto, faulty carburettor, cracked vapourising manifold, blown water pump or radiator, stuck exhaust valve, blown clutch..... or general malaise.... 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
