fv1609 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 32 BK 39 Contract No. 6/V/27455 FV1602 (ie FFW GS Truck) Engine No. 8756 Delivered to 31st ‘B’ Vehicle Depot Church Broughton Receipt Voucher No. CBR/R/463 Converted to FV1612 1958-60 Struck off BAOR 19/9/69 Recovered to 32 Central Workshops (Bicester) 18/10/72 Converted to Mk 2 as FV1611 1/73 Struck off 2/8/84 (It is difficult to read the company that purchased it, as it is written in joined up writing but with the capitals as just large lower case letters. So could be something like Abridut Rebuilds) Batteries No.2 Mk 1, FV157937 which are 60 Ah. But I would choose a modern battery as large as you can get. To give you some reserve if it is being difficult to start but also to give a bit of spare capacity to tide you over a weekend show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Looks like money well spent to me ! But I am biased ! One note be wary of tugging too hard on the barricade remover as they can be pulled off if jerked ! Look forward to seeing her after a bit of love and attention ! Good luck ! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi anyone know the history of the Queens Royal Hussars as in the badge on the front, one assumes that this pig served in NI, so do they have a history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPWRR Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 The Queens Royal Hussars were only formed in 1993 so it surprises me that this badge is on here unless an ex QRH owned it at some time! Before 1993 you had the Queens Royal Irish Hussars and the Queens Own Hussars. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
