Welcome to Ken's shed Ken has a number of Ex Army vehicles, but this page will focus on one in particular. Ken's Series 3 is a bit of a mystery. It started off life as a series 3 Fitted For Radio, however at some stage a hard top body was fitted to the vehicle. Until recently the only clue was the partial phrase "The Ant" on the side, with the rest of the word missing. More recently photos have appeared of the vehicle (shown below the photos of Ken's Land Rover) which show a similar vehicle whilst in army service. It appears that it was some sort of Electronic Warfare, Electronic countermeasure or observation vehicle, which would explain why details about the vehicle are somewhat sparse. What we do have is some photos from the 72 sigs sqn (EW) website which is the photo below showing the rear of the vehicle in service.
