RLC B Vehicle Record Search

[jim_m]

I submitted about a month ago for a scan of the record for MB158029 (81-YH-05). How long does the record search usually take? I maled the request from the US, perhaps transit time is weeks anyhow.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Jim,

 

I think that it took about 6 weeks for my reply, hope this sets your mind at rest?

Thanks, Mark. I've had the Jeep two years and just getting around to the card request.

Lets hope your lucky as any vehicle pre-1970 has a slim chance of being on archive.

 

I tried for my 1963 Landrover Mk 8 FFR and a big fat zero came back.

 

Best of luck.

 

Regards

The Key Card scan arrived in the mail today. Original registration number was 5572674, struck on 31-August-1961.

There is reference to "S/O Disposal BAOR CR". I assume "struck off British Army of the Rhine", can't guess meaning of CR.

I have seen, in a REME book, reference to Cast Range. I think means that a particular vehicle because of it's type, age & location was cast because it fell into a pretermined range of criteria.

 

So maybe CR indicates that type of cast rather than struck off because it was smashed up or destroyed. Although I have no idea what the abbreviation for that might be!
