robin craig Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 what does the "SCRA" part of the title mean for this vehicle? How many were made? Who did they serve with? From when to When? Were they a Clansman vehicle then upgraded to Bowman? Thanks R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin craig Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 So to follow what your saying they had Scam mast on the roof that unfolded into the vertical and were pumped up? Guess these were the ones that were sold recently at Withams on their own ie they had been raped from the vehicles and sold off separately?

Diesel demon Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The big give away with an SCRA is the eqipment in the back There should be two banks of Ptarmigan radio eqpt and the remainder will be the 'blue' units housing the SCRA part of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
