What an eventfull weekend. All in all drove 1100 miles round trip From Boston Massachusetts to New Jersey & Pennsylvania back to Boston Picking up my lastest addition 1963 Ferret 00EC11. On the way back in Connecticut, we blew a tire on the Trailer. NO SPARE!!! had to drive 200 miles back tio Boston pickup spare & return Sunday AM. The Good news Mission Completed all arrived back at base safely. Here's a few pic's and some of the goodies that came with it.
You should of got on the radio and called out the LAD, save driving back to get a puncture repair.

Good looking Ferret mate, are the weapons de-activated? The cooker looks good is it one of the new multi fuel type that are on issue now they cook a lot better than the petrol burners. As John said the beer must go in the spare wheel.

As I remember we called that colour "field green?"- sorry,none in stock!How about our "Royals" vehicle camouflage colours,very effective,I think they were a mixture of green,brown,and gray,a proper jigsaw pattern!

Pixie if you buy the paint on the Internet I think you will find it is,Paint Spraying Green IRR, (Infra Red Repelent). Or you can get Paint Brushing Green but you need to thin that down if you intend to spray it on. Bet of luck mate.
ReplyDeleteDave 118
Thanks Dave. I hope I can get the right color in the states, as having it sent oversea's is expensive, ie considered corrosive material. Thanks again for the advice.

If you have any military contacts it has a NATO Stock Number the COSA section is either H5 or H3 it's been a longtime since doing my stores accounting course. Sorry I can't be more help.
