sirhc Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Mark, Join the EMLRA (http://www.emlra.org) and then get a history search done on 21HF02, this will tell you which units your vehicle was used with. I have 20HF93, which is 11 away from yours! See attachment for what you get back from the EMLRA. Chris History - 20 HF 93.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Mark within than particular contract, of the variants that are the same as yours, there was a big batch from 17 HF 55 to 21 HF 11 for the year 1979. "Code" is the Asset Code which seems to have greatest use in Ordnance depots. The first part comprises the Establishment Code Number & the second part the Vehicle Code Number. Introduced in the mid 1960s it replaced an earlier codification of 6 digits + 2 digits + 3 digits. It is more convenient to use that the "NSN" (NATO Stock Number), which again is a unique identifier but has more usage in documents & identification of vehicle type & matching it to components that are themselves codified with a NSN.

fv1609 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Ah!!! so the V5 could be wrong then as it says 1980 on it ? Well it could be right. 1979 was the "Fiscal Year" which could have extended into 1980. I should wait til you get your vehicle history once you've joined the EMLRA:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm working on it :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Mark, Mine was also 1980, I didn't get any release paperwork with mine so had to get a letter with the date in service, which was 1980. Since yours was made around the same time I would expect yours to be 1980 too. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
