If someone were to come up with a Cdn checklist for a ferret (the earlier the better) it might also shed some light as to if they were included in the Cdn EIS.
The FGH have a good museum in Winnipeg with a decent amount of ferret pictures .Not sure when I will be there again, but perhaps if Derk Derin reads this he might peruse their photos. Many of them are not your "seen a million times" press release photos. Speaking of ferret photos, I have a bunch of photos around here somewhere of the Cdn ferrets at the workshops before leaving for Cypress. They built some god awful chicken wire cage over the top....I suspect to protect against bottles and rocks being thrown at them. The photos show them strapped to the backs of the ferrets on the bonadventure, but once in cypress they seem to have been ditched. |

None mounted in these images from the former West Germany.
Image credits Archives Canada. Please don't yap at me about issued vs carried, I really don't give a darn. I posted the images for pure interest, not some technical discussion. |

Happier times in the peacekeeping army. I'll have a look for my ferret photos now. I'll have a look for my ferret photos now, but here is one of the standard press release photos from Cypress to do in the meantime. Last edited by rob love; 28-08-13 at 03:13. |

Cypress? You guys were based on that sunny mediterranean island, right? Or is this proof that deployed soldiers don't really know where they are, feeling like they are chased up a tree....

Hi Clive
I don't think the photo I showed was of Cyprus though. Too much snow on the ground!! Well......... maybe up in the Troodos. But you're right, more hot than cool!! I see the lead vehicle in this photo has some sort of screen too. regards Darrell * Or is that a Mk II!!?? D'oh!! |
