Mark Ellis Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Hi all, I was wondering if there's a coloured ghost drawing of the FV651/652 Salamander, the same as these Saladin and Saracen drawings? I'd appreciate a copy if there is please Many thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 What's the difference between the 651 and the 652 please? I was tempted by one in Ross of Girvans yard many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted by one in Ross of Girvans yard many years ago. Hi I think 651 was the prototype, and 652 was the production model. Take a look at https://sites.google.com/view/alvis-stalwart-hmlc-files/alvis-fv600-wheeled-section/alvis-salamander-crash-tender But there were a number of different models in the 652 Just a matter of interest the different marks of the Mk 6 is as follows; The original Mk 6 had a suction eye, the CBM (later BCF) hoses on drums, and had a 2500 GPM monitor. Mk 6 B is the Mk 6, but converted in service to a 2500/5000 GPM monitor. Mk 6 A did not have a suction eye; the CBM (later BCF) hoses were flaked in, and had a 2500 GPM monitor. Mk 6 C same as Mk 6A but had a 2500/5000 GPM monitor. Mk 6 D is the Mk 6A, but converted in service to a 2500/5000 GPM monitor. Added by Dave Wickwar on 15 January 2012.
