We’re pleased to announce that the Chairman of the East Anglian Traction Engine Society, Andrew Waling, is bringing his Foster showman’s tractor to this year’s Crank Up. This engine, known as “Lord of the Isles” was new to Tucker’s of Loughborough for hauling bricks, before going to showman Albert Holland of Swadlincote. She attended the first EATEC event at Saling in 1955, in the ownership of Darbys of Sutton. She has been in Andrew’s family since the early 1960s.
