Data source: Service history and last known location are sourced from the British Army Merlin Archive, the official vehicle inventory system covering records up to 2012 when the archive was declassified. Survival status has been assessed from the last recorded unit — vehicles may have changed hands, been restored, or been scrapped since then. The last Merlin record for this vehicle is from 19 Mar 1993 — information about its current status is particularly welcome. If you have current information about this vehicle, please suggest an update.
