M.O.D. NUMBER 02CC45 - CIVIL NUMBER GF0181

DATE INTO ARMY SERVICE  21. 7. 1959 - DATE OUT OF SERVICE  5. 4.1994

GF0181 served primarily in Germany (BA.O.R.), from December 1959 until December 1974, with the following units:

Taken out of front line service in December 1974, GF0181 was transferred into War reserve. Here, except for a major base overhaul in May 1985, she stayed until she was sold off from Ludsershall to a dealer in April 1994. In the September of 1994, she was bought by her first owner.

I bought her in September 2005. Currently, GF0181 is in a state of on-going restoration.
