question How long is a Fox and a Ferret?

[Adam Elsdon]

There is a show on up here this weekend and a friend has a Fox and a Mk 1 Ferret, somebody i know has phoned up wanting to know how long they are, as he has a smaller 26 foot flatbed truck he could use, that would be cheaper to run, than the very massive tractor and plant moving flat trailer he usually uses (4 MPG!).

 

Ive done the Wikepedia thing but the Fox measurement includes the cannon, i just need the body length for both....fairly quick!!:sweat:

ISTR once working out that a Mark 1 Ferret is actually shorter, narrower and lower (but heavier obviously) than a LWB Land Rover - but I could be wrong.

[Marmite!!]

Ferret Mk 1&2 12ft 7" & 6ft 3" wide

Ferret Mk 3, 4 & 5 13ft 7" & 7ft 1" wide

 

Fox 13ft 11" & 7ft 0" wide (17ft 8" with cannon)

I especially like the measurements in the text and what the webmaster actually put on the diagram - but then hey ho what's a few inches between friends :kissoncheek:

My measurements for the Fox were taken from the Technical Handbook-Data Summary V660
