TailSpin Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi there, I'm currently researching into Mike Hoare's 5 Commando and their operations against the Simba rebels in 1964/65 and I found that 5 Commando used jeeps and Ferret scout cars to name but a few. Does anybody have any information regarding nomaclature of the two, above, vehicles? Regards, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I have 2 books written by Mike Hoare on the campaign, which have numerous photos of the jeeps and ferrets, there are also photos in a book about mercenary forces I have. Unfortunately all of them are in storage at the moment, but I'll see if I can dig them and scan the photos next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to try and rouse interest in a couple of vehicle owners to do a display that's a little different than your usual living history scenarios. I'd imagine that the Ferrets and jeeps would all be generic with no markings on them. I know they used civillian trucks to transport personnel, evacuees and supplies.
