    Had to follow some Ferrets down a German valley side on a forbidden road which the officer in charge was unable to comprehend! We were in a 432 and when the Tiffy was asked why the risk was taken by us he said it was REME’s job to follow last and pick up the pieces! Interesting ride sitting on the mortar hatch with a driver working very hard indeed. One crumpled 3 toner from a week or two before lying next to river below! Ah seventies service!!

      We have a lot of respect for the people that used to drive these things, but we're glad we can decide where to drive it!

    used to drive a mk2 when I was stationed in Germany, have to say I wasn't a fan, then I get the job of company commanders radio op and driver, and was cutting about in the FFR land rover.

      There's a bit more space in a MK1/2, and easier to get in and out!

    Just watched the three videos, and they all looked totally awsome, pity you had to get the Ferret dirty, but such is life, if you ever need a assistant drive, I will put my hand up, I hope you did get it washed and polished, bedt regards from Australia.

      I think the idea was to get the Ferret as dirty as possible, and we still haven't washed it off. A job for the jet washer later.

    I love the Ferret. Why is the armour of the Hatches painted red?

    • @CliffAndLouise
      @CliffAndLouise  Год назад +3

      On some Ferrets they painted the edges of the hatches red to warn that they are dangerous to fingers. Some didn't bother. A few other bits are painted red as a warning, like the fan in the engine bay. Quite a few army drivers ended up with 'Ferret finger', where they had lost the ends of one or two fingers, as the hatches are bulletproof and weigh quite a bit, and they do slam rather hard when the handle is pulled.

      @@CliffAndLouise lol, thanks mate. I did 22 years in 3 para. We actually had about 8 Sabres ( modified fox I think) for Norway. I was a CQMS in a rifle company at the time and had my hands full with 12 BV 206, so I never paid them any attention.

      Unfortunately not, but once a year at the end of May they open it up for Military Vehicle Trust members to use for a weekend, you have to book through the MVT.

    Painted red cos it’s a soft job with a windscreen!

    • @CliffAndLouise
      @CliffAndLouise  Год назад +2

      Some of them had the red paint round the hatches, some didn't. It had the paint when we got it, so we've kept it. The windscreen is just a lump of perspex to keep the Catterick dust out!
