Bruce...im not educated in the radio stuff...the c-42 is as complete as i could get it...the ferret also carried a portable radio...i think a cprc-26...something like that....589 also served in Egypt...and yes it originally had a no.19 set and a bren gun at that time...over the years there have been too many modifications....the cost and work to restore her to that period would be too much for me. I hope to find a crew member that remembers her and has a photo...?????

I only have a few photos of 589 given to by the previous owner before he sandblasted....and started selling off important parts....note the painted over u.n. decal on the hull side....these photos are from 1987.

I guess it would depend on which era you want your Ferret to represent.
