Hi Clive
Nice work as ever, hope things are good with you?
Have you ever looked into the Dingos that were used in Northern Ireland, I remember being sent some pictures years ago of a number for sale that had previously been RUC vehicles?
I don't recall seeing any operational pictures though.
kind regards
nick

Having visited the nerve centre at 'Casa Elliott' his study is very well stocked with archives and data, almost too much so. Information is most definately his thing. We mustn't exclude Richard from the 'Font of all Knowledge' group either!

Glad you are enjoying the thread.

Hello Nick, last time I saw you was when you were trying to get a quiet night's sleep at War & Peace!

I've got a number of in-service pics of RUC Dingos. But I have no pics of RUC Ferrets which I would like to see, although they didn't keep them for long. This clip shows one though in 1966 & Wayne you'll like this there is a RUC Pig, but not mine.

Sorry about the advert at the start. The vehicles are in the first part of this clip.

Nick I do recall playing in a redundant Dingo at Kinnergar in 1969..all was going well until some idiot pulled the red switch...vehicle filled up with foam very rapidly so we beat a quick exit...I should like to point out that this same chap opened up a container of the radio active isotopes when we where delivering same under armed guard to Mosgrave Park Wing of RVI in Belfast..so we where all irradiated...wife often tells me I glow in the dark...best regards malcolm in a snowbound north-northumberland
