Okay Quick update, a couple people have requested Large as a size. I have been unable to change the order so, I have paid for an extra 10 shirts sized Large of which 4 are already claimed. Medium orders that I have are covered as are XL and 2XL. If 6 people would like a Large then they'd better hurry as after these 10 are gone I will have to offer people the XL shirt instead albeit there is not a huge size difference between L and XL. Having applied a certain amount of 'pressure' most of the shirts should be ready for the end of the week so I will commence posting them out this weekend.......those that I have received payment from will obviously be prioritised. I will look at the feasability of getting some down to the Bristol Bash even if I have to deliver them to someone in Bristol next week sometime. I have also just ordered 75 black mugs with the design in silver as testers however, they will not be ready before Bristol so they'll have to wait until Plymouth or................post. But they will sell for £6 and, if people want to take the risk on P&P that'll cost a bit extra.

Right guys, I've sat here this morning logging all your orders and have worked out the P&P and prices are as follows (price includes P&P)
UK/BFPO 1 Shirt = £16.40p 2 Shirts = £31.40 3 Shirts = £46.40p
Europe 1 Shirt = £17.15 2 Shirts = £33.15
Therefore If people who have ordered can please follow these instructions asap I'd be very grateful. 1. Decide how you want to pay by cheque or by bank transfer (PayPal is an option if you have an account however, I then get charged for your paying me?!?!?) CHEQUES: Using the price banding above please make your cheque payable to M. Cleverley and post it to 83 Heath Road Runcorn Cheshire WA7 5SZ Please ensure that your address is enclosed as I really don't want to be at home when Mr and Mrs C#ck up come 'a calling' cos I sent stuff to the wrong place!! BANK TRANSFERS Please email me at malcycee @ yahoo.co.uk as soon as possible and I'll send you my details for the transfer. PayPal payments (if you really really want to) can be made to me through my email address above making sure that the text entry clearly states who you are and an address. ANYBODY who has not yet ordered, plese get your orders in now by emailing me at malcycee @ yahoo.co.uk to guarantee yourself a shirt. Or, of course, give me a ring...no probs guys and thanks. Be warned, before Plymouth I intend to have mugs and mousemats available.

In line with my old mate VTT's comments on sizing on Arrse, I will hopefully amend my order with the printers. The total of 200 shirts available will be the same but broken down as follows and here's the size guide (if you need to amend your order let me know soonest). I've amended due to the numbers that have been coming in on orders. If I run out of your size I'll tell you and offer the next size up, this is why I've inserted the Lge size as there's only a couple inches between them. I have to confirm that the sizes are available on Monday and will let you know.
Chest sizes are approx 30 X Medium = 38"/40" 60 X Lge = 41"/43" 80 X XL = 44"/46" 30 X 2XL = 47"/49"

Right this is the amended version with typeset Fear Naught. I have requested that the 3 be changed to the Roman 3 but, can't guarantee it if the printers have set up the screen this pm I'll keep you posted mates.

RIGHT THEN me ol' trustworthy colleagues and ladies. Here is a picture of what the design will look like on the shirt. One change needs making and that is to put formatted text using a font in place of my rather shoddily scribed 'Fear Naught'. The design will also be in silver on black this is only a template and, before anyone starts on, I've kept the design purposely simple as, otherwise it'd simply be too cluttered. The shirt (individually bagged) will cost you £14.50 + P&P which I wil confirm when I've been to the post office but, given that I need packaging, hopefully will come in at under £2.00, I'll let you know soon as. It is, of course, exclusively for 3RTR but, members of FearNaught 3 irregardless of unit/Corps can buy one.....I've not even put that offer on Arrse so, there are real benefits to FearnaughtIII members, I may even do something to help Pecker me ol' chum promote the site, we have talked. I will also confirm, there will only be 20 of Med the rest of the 180 will be split between XL and 2XL (mainly XL) the shirts will be top quality Fruit of the Loom so...hopefully you'll like it and....get ordering but, please use my Malcycee email address as it's easier for me to administer. I will also be letting people pay using PayPal for this........the first of many shirts to come........next though will probably be mugs or something a little cheaper. Thanks for your support guys.

Right, gulp gulp I've taken a risk......................a biiiiiiiiiiiig risk. I've ordered 200 T shirts from the printer. My mastercard will look whorendous on the next statement. I got carried away today, firstly drew the design from scratch in such a way that would be okay at the printers (the design studio I was talking to was about as much use as a lighthouse in the middle of the Sahara...very bright but...! I................then went to the printers and let them take a butchers. The T Shirt design will appear on here as an image as soon as the printer emails it to me. The design.................silver on a black shirt, the shirt itself is top quality....ie:Fruit of the loom. I will be doing only 3 sizes 20 of medium and the rest split between XL and 2XL given that I'm sure most people would like to have a shirt larger rather than too small. Each shirt will come in it's own plastic bag. I was most impressed myself (you all know how critical I am of my own work) when I saw the template getting drawn up and got carried away placing the order even though it's such a huge financial risk. Cost? Well, I reckon that it'll come in at £14 each + P&P TBC. I may well have to get to Brizzel for the reunion to save people the postage. So, as soon as I've got an image I'll get it on here and start ordering................pleeeese!! The cost with P&P will be no more than £16 as the price to get the shirts was a little more than I thought, especially by the time he'd hit the VAT button on his calculator. It put's me over my estimate by £1 but hopefully people will be okay with that?

Right guys and gals Long story cut short........... I'm out of a job on Friday so have been thinking of ways to make a bob or two. Who would be potentially up for a T Shirt playing on the Armoured Farmers theme with artwork designed by me? It'll cost somewhere between £10 - £15 each incl P&p. Once the design is ready I'll post it on here but, I could do with an estimate of how many people may order and in what sizes. please email me at malcycee@yahoo.co.uk please be advised that this is not a promise to buy on your part, it's simply to give me an idea of likely numbers. The T Shirt design will also at some stage find itself on mugs and key rings so watch this space.

Ferret

Post by arthur3bums on Aug 5, 2008 16:16:16 GMT
[ These signs are the same markings as " C " Squadron Ferret that I drove in Hobart Barracks Detmold. The 4Div sign was on the R/H side front wing with the w*****g spanner on the L/H side of the front wing. The signs on the back were 4div on the L/H Side. w/spanner on the R/H side. The Squadron sign was on the cab just behind the front/side lookout port. This pic shows the 4div sign on the wing. If you look hard you can see the " C " Squadron emblem just beside the open port on on the cab. Sorry I haven't got any better Pic's but I will keep looking and will post the as I find them. Hope these help you Flav. Positioning was the same in the 80's................where the Squadron symbol is behind the 'Battle Hatch' above that is where the vehicle name was painted in the opposite colour to the cam paint at that point ie:black onto green or Vice Versa. It was the same even on a Mk2 with a turret. Div signs were pretty non existant and certainly not in colour. Where the 4 Div sign is on the wing would have a back/green green/black number - eg: 3/63 or whatever.

Was he not escorting Inez at a reunion some 4-5 years ago? Accused me of not knowing him!!! May have been the drink as I did a couple of guards when he was on duty cab rat or such!!!!!!

the following all passed out the same time as me but which sqn were they in at jlr Steve as promised here's what I remember, some though were not the same term as you as they only did 3 terms instead of the normal 4 - completing their training at Catterick. 3rtr 3rdTermers so Squadrons unknown. n allen da armitage mp cannon k davis sd rice dp taylor cj taskis l smart ?? These are best guesses on the 4th termers other than C4 which was mine but, for the last 3 terms we were in the spiders so were pretty well detached from the rest of the Sqn's. If you look in the photo montage of our nominal roll at the top of the forums you'll see most of the faces I mention for the 4th termers. Sadly I don't have any photos of the pass off myself!! Would dearly love some. B4? - Colin ashby C4 - Malc cleverley A4-Ian (Mole) cole A4-Dave smith C4-Chris petheram C4-Alan woodcraft C4-Phil new A4?-Derek thompson ??-Kev? partridge I also know the 1st from C4 as follows: 1 rtr C4-Pete lunt, C4-Anthony rowley C4-Eddie short C4- Archie vance C4- Tony thraves so which sqn were they in i was in a sqn 2a so do you remember me please get in touch many thanks steve jacklin

Okay guys and gals If you now go to www.malcyart.co.uk you will see it's up and running properly. You can, even, be the first person to buy something if you want? Go on, use your card. Next week there'll be some REME type stuff like Cent ARVs etc appearing so keep your eyes open. I also need to clear my portfolio and have some of the original artworks available if anyone's interested, some are even mounted. The unmounted ones as a special offer to Fearnaught 3 viewers only (not even ARRSE (yet) can go for £55 each (a saving of £5) or 2 for £100 a saving of £20 on the pair. If you want any that are mounted £60 each saving £5 or 2 for £110 saving saving £20. If you've seen one or two you like, give me a shout and I'll tell you the availability. This offer remains open for 1 week then offer remains but......it's ARRSE too!!!!!
