Lord Burley Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Lee it is you we have to thank for on the purchase of our Ferret.You let me and my brother climb all over yours at Powder Mills a couple years back and gave some good advice on who to see at the St Clere,s golf club show.We ended up with a John Dews rebuild as can be seen in the pic above.

AlienFTM Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Me too :-D Sure I have a picture of 02 CC 76 at home, parked outside 15/19H Command Troop hangars, must have been summer of 78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 so that must be mark 2/4 .... :dunno: You want what is gereically labelled a Mark 2. ISTR the Mark 2/6 carried Vigilant ATGMs on the turret: otherwise most Mark 2s were Mark 2/3 or Mark 2/4. IIRC the Mark 2/3 was built with added armour plating whereas the extra armour plating was retrofitted to earlier Mark 2s to bring them up to Mark 2/3 spec. I don't think you (or I) could tell the difference without seeing the documentation. There were variations of Mark 1 concerning the shape of the driver's side hatches (some square, some following the line of the glacis plate) and the size and layout of the belly plates (so that you could get hand and spanner inside the engine compartment to unto the three bolts holding the starter motor in place without a pack lift for example. I cannot say I ever noticed thr same variations applying to Mark 2s. Again I couldn't get it right OTOH. ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Mk 2/3 & Mk 1/1 are factory uparmoured vehicles, Mk 2/4 is an earlier Mk 2 with additional armour welded on after production. Quick recognition tip is to look at the 2 rear hatches. On a 2/4 they are totally flat rather than having the lip around the edge.
