    It came a long way from them early trials clive the mock up drawing was of the models held at BEVERLEY when the rep from Bovington came to FVRDE he was allowed to take only tracked mockup models he spent most of the day with me so any of those he took should be at the museum

    CLIVE was looking for a list of foreign manufactured armour at FVRDE and remembered FV426 mockup sorry do not have a picture or drawings but funny the other day my wife watched a salvage hunters from the hovercraft museum and there was a number of FVRDE mockups from beverley and the westland helicopter made out of wood on truck the museum at beverley had a large collection of mockup models from FVRDE BOVINGTON collected some when l was there

    that is what it says 00 CA 29 all on that list seem to have ended up as targets
  4. wally dugan
    FV 421 were numbered from 00 CA 22 TO OO CA 31 with the exception of 00 CA 29 WHICH was a FV423 and was scrapped in 6/4/65

    Not really l have the lists of theFV401 FV420 FV421 that were at FVRDE/MEXE as l said there is more to the story than just a few pictures 10 AVD ARMOURED VEHICLE DEPOT l will look if l have it's location

    After a bit more digging l would like to add the following P1 was number W4 and numbered 06 EB 04 and was transferred to SEME on the 27/7/68 P2 was number W3 and renumbered 06 EB 03 and transferred to RMSC SHRIVENAM on the 8/9/69 W2 06 EB 02 was first sent to the RAC CENTRE BOVINGTON on the 6/4/67 and transferred to REME APPRENTICE SCHOOL ARBORFIELD on the 3/12 71 last 06 EB 01 was sent to 10 AVD date not published It would appear that more FV 421 were built than FV 437 There is a lot more to the story of the FV 400 series than you may first think and it began as early as 1950

    JUST watched WATER OBSTACLE the one with W2 is 06 EB 02 06 EB 01 was clearly shown THOSE displaying DA series ERM should be able to find

    just look at the video 06 EB 01 winches the the Stalwart out when stuck on the track
  10. wally dugan
    It appears there were two prototypes P1/ 6937 and P2 /7145 these are there establishment numbers and did not receive ERM numbers The others had numbers 06 EB 01 06 EB 02 06 EB 03 06 EB 04 and establishment numbers in order 6968/7009/7016/7026 I NEED to look further it would help to know the ERM one at CHATHAM to help confirm the above
  11. wally dugan
    I started to look and found mention of FV401 FV 438 and FV 439 but will continue to search only about a eighth of the way through

    A number of oxford carriers were sold in 1959 with numbers ZT and ZU at RUDDINGTON

    l think you should try DESA and ask them if they can shed any light on this DEFENCE EQUIPMENT SALES AUTHORITY or their predecessor
  14. wally dugan
    May be it was the equipment that was in it and it could not be moved under its own power
  15. wally dugan
    AS to TM REGISTRATION number these were allocated to trailer machinery as to AS reg l add to it
  16. wally dugan
    Your reply does not surprise me there are no records of MS registration either on 419B CARDS or on MERLIN as the sales were handle by a separate government department
  17. wally dugan
    Just a bit to add to the SA story the ERM SA it was applied as said to Cromwell that were described as NON-FS to all marks and hull types

  22. wally dugan
    mark type in the search box museum transport BEVERLEY you will get number of pages click on number six go down on to the first page of the museums closure and will see the DYNA-TRAK and the damage to the rear housing it was obviously parked outside as the card board boxes with all the missing parts in look as they have been rained on
  23. wally dugan
    SADLY l need my head phones which l am waiting for my new ones to come just in passing my old boss did the the trials on the DYNA-TRAK and blew the rear drive housing and it came to the museum l might have a picture of it after it had been stood for years out side at FRVDE
  24. wally dugan
