I have a number of photos of the Ferrets as they were being prepped in Canada for their deployment (goofy chicken cages over the top opening), their trip and offloading from the Bonaventure, and some photos of them in service in Cypress. I'll dig through the files tonight and see if they surface.
The chicken wire cages were not to be seen in any of the cypress photos...I suspect they were quickly discarded.
I didn't go to Cypress until 89, by which time the Cdn ferrets were long gone. I do have some photos of a Brit Ferret that hit a landmine while I was there. It blew off one of the front wheel stations and expelled both occupants. The crew commander said when he came to, he was going to give his driver shit for rolling the vehicle, not realizing they had hit a mine after travelling down the same path they had travelled a hundred times before.
