Ferret on Parliament Hill during the October Crisis - pic ID

[Ed Storey]

There is a good chance that the Ferret in the Camp Bouchard photograph is indeed 54-82589 (36BA60) as it was disposed of out of BFC Valcartier in 1982. The other likely candidate 54-82539 (35BA94) was also in Valcartier and was disposed of at the same time as 82589. Another possibility, 54-82509 (35BA68), was disposed of out of CFB Petawawa in 1980.

I knew I could trust your feature extractor's eyeballs.

Terry, actually terrain analysist's eyeballs, as I predate feature extraction.

Looks like 54-82543 to me.

Looks like it to me also.

It is interesting to see the front and rear light tower for side and turn signals still in place in the original picture and the large black and white convoy marking applied in the enlarged picture

After looking at the photo a good bit...i see two points that tell me this is not 589.....first in the photo the ferret has the british tower style side lights....second the socket for the m. g. Mount is an original unmodified mount....i have photos of my 589 as it came out of canada and she had u.s. m series side lights and the m.g.socket was a modified mount from her service in cyprus....these things tell me the photo is not 589........539 maybe???

Plate says overhauls at 23 Base Workshop, this would be the REME workshop at Wetter, BAOR. So assume it was with the Canadian army inGermany?
