Canadian Ferrets 1975 CFB Meaford

[rob love]

When the regular force went to the US radios instead of the C42 radio, the Ferrets were appropriately modified. It was not a real clean installation. Generally, both the mount brackets and the hulls were torch cut to allow the new AMU and cables to be installed. Much better radios, but then again two different generations of electronics....tubes vs solid state. Thankfully, you did not need to continually re-tune the radio and AMU on the newer stuff like the old C-42, especially in the arctic temps. Nor did you get the hernia trying to lift the US radio in and out of the hull like....damn those 42s were heavy.
