CDN Ferrets With Turrets in Cyprus
The rifle range at the Nicosia airport had two Ferret turrets sitting on the side all shot up. I was taken to see them while on exchange with Scout Car SQN of the 16/5th Lancers in '88, but I don't have a photo. We enjoyed bombing up and down the runway doing Ferret drag races and trying to drive around the go-kart track in the Ferret (much fun!). They had UN Markings but were UK European camouflage.
I know it doesn't answer your question directly but it shows there were spares on the Island and all we would have had to do is ask for them. The Brits were quite obliging that way.
