The driver is ducking for cover. The Melbourne Univerity Regiment is a University based unit and by 1957 the Ferret had arrived along with the Champ and othere Rolls Royce "B"engined vehicles. These were fitted with the rectangular mirror and I guess that the Bren Gun Carrier has a
retro-fittted one from the store. Rick.

Quote:
The rectangular convex mirrors fitted to Ferrets and Champs actually date back to prewar, from memory called the "1924 Pattern" or similar and were common place on practically every British wartime vehicle. Last used on Ferrets in British Army up until late 1970's.

The paper was published with the wrong "their". It should have read; "Hold on "there" Sergeant". and the proof reader should have picked it up, whereas now, there are no proof readers. They use a spell check on a computer, which doesn't pick up the difference.
......And now I see Keith pointed it out, at the start.
