Thanks Cosrec,
The REME workshops, where I worked, had one issued to us on their introduction into service, replacing an AEC Medium, (not known as Militants in service). We were to have it for about 20 years, I was involved in winch and crane repairs and testing amongst other work, so got to do a fair bit to it in its time, although to be fair, the only major issues in the EKA side of it, that I recollect, was renewing a telescopic ram for lifting the boom and the bogie blocking power unit. Also heavily into Foden EKA as we had quite number in our dependant units, the electro hydraulics system started to give problems as life wore on with them, and were occasionally challenging !
