The Ferret armoured car, or Ferret Scout car as it is more commonly known, is a British armoured reconnaissance vehicle produced between 1952 & 1971 by Daimler.

Ptarmigan Area System was an encrypted, digital communication system which linked data, telephone and radio communications over a wide area. Used extensively in BAOR, in its day, it was very much at the cutting edge of technology.

Ptarmigan was easy to use and maintain and included the the first direct dial digital mobile phone system in the world. Supplied by The Plessey Company and supported by SELEX Elsag of Christchurch, the technology used to develop Ptarmigan was later used to develop mobile phones.

The Museum is home to the world's only remaining Cable Wagon. In service from 1911 to 1937 it was used extensively in WW1 when communications depended on laying 'Line' and repairing it under fire.

Winnie The Pooh creator AA Milne wrote of his experiences of laying line.

The Snowcat  is a communications vehicle used by The Royal Signals until 1981. The one in the Museum is similar to that driven by Princess Anne (now Princess Royal) when she visited Blandford Camp in 1970. Take a look at this article on our Colonel-in-Chief to see video footage of her taking the wheel.

The 1-ton container was designed to be transported on a flat platform, though it can be readily loaded into an aircraft or removed from the vehicle to the ground or to another vehicle. It is constructed from aluminium and can be fitted with air conditioning equipment or pressurised for protection against nuclear, biological or chemical weapons. The radio relay equipment in this vehicle is a C41 / R222 ACT 1+4 No3 radio relay terminal.

The Royal Signals has a long and proud sporting history. The first Olympian was Brigadier Henry Hawtree who won gold in the 1906 games held in Athens.
