Rob,

 

It looks like your Ferret has had a fairly easy life!

 

17 Rear Vehicle Depot (RVD) BAOR - Recklinghausen, Germany - one of the large RAOC vehicle storage depots

 

16 BND - pass! Check the scan that Bovington sent you (16 Base Vehicle Depot (BVD), Olen, Belgium?)

 

Vehicle Depot (VD), Ludgershall - another massive storage depot in Wiltshire, home of many Ferrets over the years!

 

Queens Division Depot, Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire - former RAF base and home to the B17 'Memphis Belle' in WW2, it was the Queens Division Depot from 1970 - 1993. I'm wondering if your Ferret was a Gate Guardian - if so, other forum members may be able to tell you more, but there should be lots of pictures of it on the gate!

 

Welcome to the world of Ferrets!

Its the Ferret from one of the recent Withams sales and recently on epay. I have a few more pictures from the sale and I might have the lot number somewhere as well.

 

Happy Ferreting!!

Hi Rob,

We live near Bassingbourn and although I'm not saying it wasn't a gate guardian, I know for years and years they have always had a Saracen and FV432 guarding their entrance, it may have been before this but perhaps it did actually perform light duties around the camp, it is a big place!
