Canadian Ferret / Sand Channels

[Robin Craig]

Dear Clive et alia,

What I am trying to do is to prove whether they were or were not issued and carried on the Ferrets.

Clive your comments adds substance to the "not carried" debate but does not prove "were not issued". It looks like Rob will help there.

Curiously I was trolling the net tonight looking at UNEF images from places I have never visited that contained some of the more commonly seen pictures. Just on a hunch I looked around more and was scrolling down a page when I bumped into this image and had a double take.

For anyone who has handled the sand channels they will know that they are heavy and it is not surprising to imagine them being ditched fairly soon.

Seems like they were re-purposed very soon.
