The pictures below shows the interior and some of the Clansman intercom / radio harness.

 

           

       

   

 

Aluminium ID plate as fitted to every Ferret often missing.

 

There are at least four different versions of this plate one of which is 3/4 of the size of these later aluminium plates.

Each plate has part of the hull number stamped into it plus base repairs and the date that those were carried out.

 

 

Blank Plate subtle difference to the plate above.

 

 

 

Hull Shocker as used in Northern Ireland in the seventies a rare item (a term highly over used especially on e-bay)

Hatch's

All three front hatches had been modified with the use of a gas axe to fit FV432 periscopes on 00CC09.

 

When entering or exiting the Ferret do not use the front or rear hatch's as a means to lever you're self in or out of the Ferret unless you fancy having Ferret fingers. What's Ferret fingers you ask its when the hatch has closed unexpectedly on you're finger in the worse case scenario severing or breaking a finger or two. Not had that happen to me yet!

Wonderful piece of equipment I tried it at night with the curtains closed and no lights on. It did a great job of highlighting all the junk in the spare bedroom!
