LarryH57 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Has anyone got details listing all the FV numbers for each type of vehicle? Presumably if say FV432 was Trojan and FV701 was a Daimler Ferret there would have been an FV 001 upwards? Any help gratefully received Edited December 9, 2013 by LarryH57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell that because the FV1624 is included as this variant was described to me by the EME who designed the FV1623 & the enhancement to FV1624. In fact I have the minutes of the design committee meetings. But the FV1624 does not appear in the standard lists that are around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Clive what was FV1609 - Shorland or Pig with Malkara? The original Mk 1 Pig. What are called Mk 1 are really Mk 2 & those that have the contract plates that show a Mk confirm them as being Mk 2. But the Army forgot this detail & in Op Bracelet Sept 1972 - June 1973 those upgraded Pigs were designated Mk 2 which was error, they should have been designated Mk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
