smashycrashy Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Previous owner of my Ferret was quite a collector at the local shows and would pick up anything that was marked as "Ferret". He grabbed this piece because it was marked as such but had no idea what it was. Best I could figure it was some sort of canvas cover for the hull hatches when in storage but I have yet to try and fit it on the hull to test the theory. Here are the pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 NOT for Ferret as far as I know. I have NEVER even seen this item before in service. I worked on a Lot of Ferrets in the Army, & consider myself fairly well aquainted with all Ferret related equipment. using Logic, the Ferret is really cramped enough as it is when full laden in the Combat role. Adding equipment such as this, would not be practical, Or indeed fit on/in the vehicle's stowage facilities with all the other C.E.S & Personal gear on board! Sorry, but I dont think it is for a Ferret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I've never seen a manufacturers code like than on British stuff, but it's very common on US stuff so I'd say it's American in origin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashycrashy Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thanks. It did occur to me that this guy was buying everything marked Ferret at the show so anyone wanting to sell off a bit of merchandise could just mark it as Ferret and it'd be sold. I will place it in the "Not ferret" pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
