sirhc Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 They do not start at 1970. They sent me the cards for mine and the DIS was '59. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter4456 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Most of the Ferret history cards I've seen start around 1967, even with 1959 etc DIS. In storage until '67? Change of record system in '67? Who knows, but I should think there are a lot of Ferret owners with an Aden veteran who don't know it - me included! I should think the only hope of finding any early history is finding a pre '67 photo. Good luck! Peter Ferret MK 2/3, 03 CC 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john fox Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 answer: a) you can't, if Bovy don'y have the cards they don't exist anymore :cry:; or b) what is the frist line on your card, DIS does not mean date in use, it might have spent years in a vehicle depot before issue, for example, some Landrover 101 have a DIS which pre dates the actual factory recorded production run and would suggest the mil reg was issued when the contract was placed and the number assigned to a unit in the production run with the DIS commencing then and the vehicle physically being issued at a later date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
