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!! |

Yep, it looks like a mk2 turret.
Here is a shot of the vehicles on the flight deck, chicken cages fastened to the rear. |

Here is another of the press release photos of Canadians on patrol in April of 1964. Smiling for the camera was not permitted and I suspect the driver's sunglasses may have been military issue.

Found these ferret photos tonight. Two show a ferret being craned from the aircraft carrier to a loading craft, and the last is of a ferret leaving the craft for dry land. You can see the chicken coop tents on some of the cages.

Collectively wonderful photos you gents have put up here, thank you very much.
Tote Goat, is that the motorcycle thing on the back? Correct that is a Mk2 lead vehicle Note that none of these Cyprus shots even show them having sand channels fitted either when on deck or landing ashore. More ammunition for the argument. Love the chicken coop assembly, someone will have to re create one of those at some time. R |

Hi Robin
Yes, it was a trial for Centurions and Ferrets. Easier transport for Troop Leaders etc to get to Sqn/Regt'l Orders. Armoured Regt Hides cover a lot of real estate. Found a few more. Wether NATO, UN or Domestic......no channels on RCD Ferrets. regards Darrell |
