Military convoy with RAF fuel tankers, on the A14 westbound near Kettering about 10.45 this morning

Just got back from the show, and found it very enjoyable. I even managed to buy a carbine holder fo my truck

And welcome from essex

We are visiting there today , hopefully to get some useful parts

Good for you !

Welcome in

Nice !

wow great news when me and my wife went to normandy a few years ago there was an old gentleman sat on his own in a resturant having a meal. we got talking to him and he told us a great story about d day and how he was there early hours on d day sweeping the channel clear of mines on a minesweeper . he got quite upset saying that they never got mentioned. at the end of the night i payed his bill and supplied him with beer my wife gave him a big hug . he was very emotional and sayed i thought people didnt care anymore ,i proved him wrong he was a great guy to meet .

Well done for doing that

Another question, does anyone know how many ferrets served in cyprus?

Mine was there from 1968-1969......

If you get the Vehicle History Card from Bovington, I'll translate it for you!!

Here's the details ... Thank you

Welcome to the forum

Gmc cckw dump truck

mk 4 ferret

bofors mm

Thank you for the information , I don't know when it was last used but I know it has not moved for over 20 years

waiting for the info from the tank museum

No, not a lot in the scale of things today.

Thank you, I did. They were extremely friendly and helpful. Info is on its way to me...

Now, does this need an MOT and if so where do I get it done, as our local mot tester would faint if I turned up on his forecourt with this.

Glad to meet you

Here's the radio in the MK 4 ferret I got yesterday. I am told its quite scarce, but i dont have a clue. Does anybody refurbish these and if so, is it worth doing ?

Welcome to the HMVF from sunny essex

That'll be great, do I just write to them ?

thank you

Forging marks on the armour when it was straightened after heat treatment I think.

They are on the inside too

Looks very good. Shame the registration number has been put on wrong, it should be EC not FC.

Yes I wondered that, as the data plate inside says its OO EC 57

Well the first of my two ferrets has arrived this afternoon. Some pictures are attached. Any info on it would be greatly received as to its history etc......I haven't got a clue as to what all the gizmos do that's in it, so it's just as well I have 2 quite good manuals.

i never ever dreamt of owning an armoured car let alone one with a bilge pump!

What and be rideculed by the press as some nutters who drive round in tanks no thanks !

That's true, we already get enough stick if we take the 4x4 to pick the kids up from school......:rolleyes:
