Serial 1909 was CFR 15064 manufactured in September 1994. It was disposed of from ASU/CFB Montreal in April 2007.

I have a 1985 Bombardier Iltis. Wondering if anyone has info on units it may have been with or where it went.

Identification number is BI-01-04-85-87012

Thanks

Your Iltis 87012 was disposed of out of 25 CF Depot, Montreal in Sept 2005 and you are lucky as you have a vehicle with some overseas service as it had been used in both Haiti and Yugoslavia. I suspect your Iltis was being used with SFOR in Bosnia prior to being returned to Montreal.

87012: Yes Ed, a very well travelled Iltis. Looks like you can add Germany to it's list as well. Here in Canada, Borden as well as a few different attachments to some of the French units. The record even has it as being attached to ATCO, which would have been after they assumed a lot of the equipment maintenance in Bosnia in 1999.

Thank you for the information guys. I had managed to find out that my Iltis was in Bosnia as I found this picture of it there posted on another forum. Interesting to see how much it actually traveled.

You are fortunate to have a photograph of your Iltis on overseas service, any chance of getting a photograph of your Iltis as it is now taken at the same angle?

Hi Ed,

I have an Iltis CFR 86238. Do you have any info on it?

Thanks!
