You really do have a very early ferret there :-) Hi Matt I believe that my Ferret was one made in the first hunderd built. Stamped on the hull underneath ID plate is 8 B 92 I dont know if you can make it out from the pic. Maybe you could let me know if this is so? How many Ferret have you get listed so far?

Regards Shane Hi Shane, More like in the first 10 ! I checked up and noted that I worked on 32BA78 in 1980 when it was in-service, and that was No.4. Your earlier post of into service date of 1951 may be incorrect, as your hull ID plate shown, says built Sept 1952 Edited January 1, 2012 by Richard Farrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Collins Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) HI Shane, You've finally made it on here then, Neil's on here as well (vpk109) so that's the 3 Muskateers on here then (Neil, you and myself). Good to have you aboard all you need to do now is to get a picture of all of our vehicles (including the Dave's Shorland) and then that would be a good photo. For those who don't know Neil, Shane and myself usually travel round together in our vehicles (with Neil as escort) Mark Edited January 2, 2012 by Mark Collins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
