1960, assuming it would be for the Humber Pig, not that there is a lot of difference.

Yes this is just for the Pig & of course is just the info for the User. The Data Summary is in EMER COMMUNICATIONS INSTALLATIONS J170 & the Technical Description in J172. The installation process itself is in WO Code No.12798.

The intended installations for the non-armoured Humbers were:

FV1602 WS19 or C42 or both
FV1604 R210 & C11
FV1621/2/3/4 C42

Anyone out there know what the Humber Jack looked like? Am assumuing it was quite short, possibly 3 stage screw type, with 2 piece handle. Is there a ferret Jack? are they similar? Heeelp.

Our recent rains have meant that each time we take the Humber out, this happens...

Thanks Clive,
Been feeling like Sherlock Holmes deducing what Jack was like from the mounting strap and the handle brackets. Have been scouring the swap meets for something along these lines but to no avail, good to know that I am on the right track, and will keep looking. Must be a short heavy sucker. None of the Humbers that I have seen or heard of over here have one.
Don't suppose you have a picture of one?
Best regards
Rich.

Rich as it happens I do. It is an illustration in a 1960 VAOS. But I'm afraid it is 0143 now so I'll have to do it tomorrow, I mean later today.

As this is a 1960 VAOS notice that only a few items have so far been NATO codified. Although 4 ton jacks are codified the illustration still bears VAOS designation. The retracted height differs in the illustration, although on mine there is a thingy that slides on the top to extend the height a little & gives a narrower platform, which might explain the difference.
