  1. Look for the pig and 25 Pdr gun tractors towards the end of the clip, sadly not the best quality.
  2. http://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=72 If you ask on this forum there is a very well known author/armourer (Pete Laidler) who will answer your question.
  3. The Pig in the background has the registration 28BK53.
  4. One of my many reasons for registering on this site was to find pictures of the Bedford RL Gun tractor variant. In the 1960's and early seventies this was the workhorse of Royal Artillery training units and the depot regiment for the School of Artillery, where are they today? I think my regiment had at least 18 of them. Do any RL's exist on this site, or are they rarer than Quads?
  5. Thank you all for a warm welcome, and also finding my Ferret! I'm just south of east of Salisbury and Bovington isn't that far to travel. Cheers Mick
  6. Shamlessly nicked from my regimental Facebook page. It would appear to be 49 Fld Regiment (55 The Residency Bty) RA in Lippstadt around 1962? I'm only posting this because the registration may be of use, and no, I was still at at school then!!
  7. 23BK80, looking at the enlarged image on my computer.
  8. I don't suppose the oatmeal blocks I left in the rear right pannier are still there?
  9. I regret to say that I am running out of good Pig pictures, here is one of my favourites. York Street Belfast June 1973, a second or two after it detonated, I have a very blurred picture of the road next my feet at the moment of detonation..... Also included is a gratuitous shot of the steering collumn from the flat boot Cortina, which according to eyewitness's hit the Saracen!
  10. Can anybody tell me were many Ferrets converted to later Mk's? I would have thought there were enough in the system for this not to happen, I'm refering in particular to the one in this thread 00EC98.
  11. I shoot various old rifles and on one of my associations forums the subject of firearms insurance came up; it would appear that NFU were the most helpfull when it came to insuring firearms. (I accept that a Mobat is bigger than a No4 Lee Enfield) And that included the storage of black powder as well!
  12. As long as I'm not boring the pants off you lot! Belfast 1973, these two vehicles belonged to ATO and were attending a suspect package in Glenalpin Street which turned out to be 4 candles and an old alarm clock!
  13. Now that I am getting the measure of this forum and the amount of information which some of you have, I will post pictures that before I would have deemed nobody would have any interest in. Belfast 1973 taken at the back of Ulster TV, this was our motorised back to a sanger on the Ormeua Road.
  14. I also found this, Larkhill circa 1969 and one of the OP vehicles parked behind a purpose built OP. The decal on the door is the Bengal Tiger for 143 Tombs's Troop Bty. When we got to Belfast some of the lads recognised the registrations of some of the Pigs we lost in around 1970.
