Great to see my Ferret in service (03 CC 23), I have what I think is the complete in-service records ... which is nice
 Not sure what "VSD Berlin" is, as that is where it was attached in '86 Looking more closely at the record card, it was actually in "D" sqn 4/7 DG from 81 thru 83, maybe it was still marked up as such later? Mick Last edited by mikethebike; 11-03-10 at 21:48.

VSD Berlin
Mick,
Nice to see photos of ones vehicle actually in service. I wish I could find some of mine, 02DA45, she was with 1 Para in Northen Ireland during Bloody Sunday. 1st Para Bn was the resident battalion based from 21 Sept 70 to 25 May 72 at Palace Barracks, Hollywood, north east of Belfast. Note: Inf and Para Bns are not issued with scout cars. However, NI was a special case. Still searching for pics... VSD = Vehicle Sub-Depot CVD = Central Vehicle Depot These are armoured vehicle storage depots. Cheers

About 10 or 12 years back I paid £1000 for 02DA45, she came from
a scarp yard in Andover, we drove her home ! then did a full nut and bolt refit, had lots of fun at shows, but was sold on sometime in 2000 i understand she is now in Hereford not used. this is the only photo I can find at this time If i find more will let you know. cant get photo to show,but if you email me I will send it all the best Phillip Hoath Leominster uk prhoath@yahoo.co.uk Last edited by phill hoath; 13-10-10 at 18:47.

Just to bump this thread up a bit.
One of our two Ferrets, I have today been shown by Jason when visiting that there is a Road Runner on the vehicles right side. He also managed to pick out the name CHINA above the front hatch in the sea of names that are layered very close together. There is also the remains of what I take to be call sign 31 on the right side. As I have said elsewhere, while these markings are all on the vehicle, there is no provenance to say that they existed at the same time together as a set. So, I'm saying that it is an LDSCH vehicle R
