Erolek Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have a question, that I believe - this might be the right place to find the answer since lot of you have been in the Service. Was there an official 'record book' or a 'service book' attached to a vehicle in the 1980s? Would someone have a scan or a copy of such an item? I would like to keep a mileage/service record on my Series 2A Ambulance, but if possible in the way that would be somehow similar to original.

Brooky Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Think you might be after a "work ticket" I am sure it has been on here before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erolek Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think 'work ticket' would be more like a once-off docket? I'm more after a booklet type thing that would be attached to vehicle, where all trips and jobs would be recorded. I'm not even sure if such a thing exist. It came to my mind yesterday when I was recording daily mileage on the Civil Defence ambulance, that it would be handy to have something like that in my Landy.

Erolek Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm not looking for vehicle history. Just a blank 'vehicle record book' so I can log my own usage and repairs, but in a book that fits the vehicle rather than just a blank notepad. I don't even know if such a book exists, but knowing MOD's deep love with various forms - there must be such a thing. Greetings Eryk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remevmb Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Eryk, I think you need an AB (Army Book 562) a brown (buff) coloured book in A5 size. Inside are pages which tell you details such as chassis number and other details, services and inspections carried out, modifications. I seem to remember all vehicles of yours age had this. Though in later life they may have had a FMT 1004 document. This was in A4 size, but had the same information in it. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Eryk I thought that the museum might know the "vehicle record book" that you are looking for. I had realised that you aren't looking for vehicle history.

I had realised that you aren't looking for vehicle history. Thanks for the hint. I contacted them - got a phone number to the archivist. Will try tomorrow if I get some spare moment at work. Thank you all for the invaluable information. Should anyone have the relevant paperwork and wouldn't mind to part with it - I'm more than happy to grab it.
