Hello all,
Can anyone shed any light as to when this Ferret became a monument and anything known specifically as to where it came from and any documented or witnessed history or provenance. Obviously there is more to this than meets the eye, and I want to understand more about it but without asking leading questions that will result in flawed information. The photos are kindly provided by Darcy Pennock by permission

It is an ex-BATUS ferret which was acquired in the mid 90s and painted to loosely represent a Cdn ferret. I was heavily involved with the vehicle display in front of the armouries, but not with that particular vehicle.

True, but a British one painted to represent a Canadian vehicle which makes it fake.

OK Ed.......sorry the display does not meet your high standards. Next time I go out there to paint them, I`ll stencil Fake onto the hull.
