jim_m Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 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. Jim Mulligan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_m Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks, Mark. I've had the Jeep two years and just getting around to the card request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Jim 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_m Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) 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.

fv1609 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 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!
