Mike Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Those look great. Have you contacted @Julien so he can add your bounty to the Walk Around section? Which reminds me, I have a walk around of the turret of a Ferret that's stationed outside the Secret Bunker in Cheshire somewhere. I don't know where it is, cos it's secret. See?

And besides, if what we were told about the sole remaining Ferret in our regiment in '64 was true, they could go as fast in reverse, as they could forward. John.

cmatthewbacon Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 @ivan-o it wasn’t very clear… is the interior a sort of flat aluminium silver or gray? It doesn’t look white, but the lighting was pretty yellow… best, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
