  1. This thread deserves pictures of the vehicle for the rest of us
  2. Clive, as always, thank you sir. I will go have a look at see what I can make out and get back to you if needed.
  3. Good day all, I am trying to help a friend remotely with some problems. The British Ferrets had a two speed and then a single speed generator fitted. Can we assume the the electrical socket connections to either one are the same plug and pin matrix? Is there a diagram of that with a legend. Can anyone share any kind of bench testing method for a generator before installation to ensure the unit will work correctly? Personally I am not an electrical guy at all and this baffles me somewhat. I know my limitations. yours in advance appreciation .
  4. Hartas can I ask you where in the world in simplistic terms are you located please?
  5. Bob Matthew Jones at Ferret Spares would likely pay you asking an take both, worth giving him a call perhaps
  6. Mike, So sorry to hear about the changes in your life, sent you a PM. yes life is funny how we can be closer to people on places like here than family. I echo that. Please keep your chin up and know others care, look forward to getting a reply from the PM yours Robin in Canada
  7. Richard, Thank you ever so much for posting that. Yes I was aware of it but still I thank you. I am planning on treating myself for Christmas to the RLC records for it as I feel the two will span different years and make a more complete history. Can you decode or tell me anything about the Merlin entries as to where or who those were with? I am thinking some kind of RCT unit?
  8. I have, over the past number of years been taught time and again that the truth is stranger than fiction. I have also been taught to ask the stupid question that no one asks. I have always known that my vehicle features in a book by James Taylor showing it in Antwerp while in service. Recently I emailed James and asked him if he could let me have a decent copy of that image but moreover were there any other images from that time. Well, surprised and overjoyed are words that spring to mind when I received other external view of my vehicle and the interior. I am reproducing them here with my crude watermark to them. Winter is fast approaching here with first frost tonight. I am making plans for how and where the roof will spend the winter. Slowly progress is being made
  9. Mike can you interpret the words and numbers on the wood in front of the radiator please? specifically the 611 TACP the FAC i think is forward air controller. what about the 1 and the red and blue square on the edge of the bonnet? The RM insignia and the Union Jack I get
  10. Royal 42 may I please use that winter picture e;elsewhere with credit to you please?
  11. As a self confessed Land Rover anorak, among other epithets, I find your 3 pictures 10FM68 quite interesting. Each has a tasty morsel within. The first image, in the second line from the left has a Land Rover hardtop with a cat flap to oppose the tailgate below. I have see one in British usage before. This suggests the vehicle was built with a tailgate and the hardtop may have been scrounged from somewhere. The second image has in the centre a 109 with a truck cab which again was a rare item to be seen at time of issue and I think someone was a good scrounger. I only ever saw this body style used by the Royal Marines training staff at Lympstone on a CL 109. The last picture while holding nothing rare it does show a Carawagon conversion but regrettably no identifying marks. As the owner of a Carawagon I lust for more in service images of my vehicle. Thank you for posting
