I've just read this thread from end to end and I have to say it's been one of the most entertaining reads for a long time. It would make a book in its own right. I cut my teeth on the old IH Drotts and still have a soft spot for them even though I haven't seen one working for over 30 years.. My uncle used to drive an NCK Andes (was that a 605?) for British Sugar at Spalding, and died in his 70's at the controls of a 22RB belonging to Wrights of Holbeach, and I often watched him operating during my brief stint at Spalding BSC factory. Some jobs a navy is still the best tool. Thanks for this thread to all who contributed.
