Ferret on Parliament Hill during the October Crisis - pic ID

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???

Also thank you Terry for the photo....i had my hopes up as i have no photos of 589 in service....she may be in some but seeing the numbers is imposible in most photos....maybe someday one will surface.....best to you...

Can't say we weren't excited for a few moments!

Oh yes i really thought and was hoping that was a photo of ferret 589.....but im sure it is not....i have collected all the photos i can of Canadian ferrets....there were only 124 of them....im sure 589 is in some of the photos but cannot be positively identified....she did service in Egypt and Cyprus...that i know for sure...i have copies of paperwork to show that...but a positive photo has not been found yet.....still looking...

So I take it 82589 was in Cyprus prior to 1970?
