jim fl4 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Had a look today at the speedo of ferret 06 EB 71 and found the mileage was 17,000 odd. I think this has all been accrued whilst in-service. judged my its condition and also that its never been registered. This sounds like big mileage to me but what do the ferret experts think ?

fv1609 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 It comes from a table in Defence Council Instructions (Army) 40 Part IV Annex issued 18th Feb 1970. As it happens I had gone through the whole DCI (Army) & DCI (General) for 1970 today, teasing out details. It took a while as the DCI pile for that year is 3 inches thick. It just happened to be in front of me otherwise it would have taken a while :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
