No figures for your research but in a recent (as in last couple of years) issue in the MVPA magazine was an article on Canadian vehicles in Bosnia.

Default UN Ferrets

MVPA magazine History in Motion published the 'Basic White' article on UNPROFOR Vehicles last Oct-Nov which did feature a Canadian UN Ferret in Cyprus as the lead photograph.

This is a photograph of 82575 serving with the Royal Canadian Dragoons in Cyprus.

Hello David, my pleasure. I have gone back to my previous posting and added three photos featuring Ferrets for you to enjoy.

If you go to https://artsandculture.google.com/se...Crane%20cyprus you may be able to find a few more?
