andrewroberts.1953 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Ian, I would think I would of been out of serive long before then. Even early series 3's were in short supply by then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 They were using three's and 101's possibly some early Wolfs. The 101 I know for definte as mine was with 4th Armoured out there, also Bosnia. that wa sthe last active deployment of the 101's. The 2a would have been used in Aden I suspect. 1971 would be very very late for a 2a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 They were using three's and 101's possibly some early Wolfs. Not in 1991, the Wolf did not enter service till 1997. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The 2a would have been used in Aden I suspect. 1971 would be very very late for a 2a. 2a ambulances were definitely still in service during the period of the London ambulance strike, which I think was at the end of 1989. I seem to think some lasted through until the point when all petrol Land Rovers were cast, think this was about 1996-97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Dunn Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 The 2 we have here in Bodmin were cast about 1999............... Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The last of the 101's the ambulances were cast 1999. Ambulances seem to last longer in service. By the by , anyone know what paint code A6 is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The 2 we have here in Bodmin were cast about 1999............... Ian Thanks Ian, I was wrong with 96-97, it was around 1999 when all the petrol ones were cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recymech66 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 At 30 Signal Regt we took delivery of our 1st Wolves in 1997, all the Series 3's were parked up on the airfield and got rid of by loads of car transporters in 1998, presumably to some place like Withams.

sirhc Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 All the Series 3s went to MVS. I think Jacksons were still selling of the last of them last year for £100 to £400 a piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
