I've attached my vehicle history card for my Series 3 FFR. I get the jist of it - it obviously didn't travel very far! - but just wondered if anyone could offer advice on some of the abbreviations e.g RRW, R/Pty, H/BVT
thanks

I have no idea but it's a lovely bit of history. I'm very taken with the reliability classification. Did you get a discount if it was class 3?
 
Try the Ex Military Land Rover Association or whoever is now holding the archive of the Museum of Army Transport (used to be in Beverley in East Yorkshire but I heard it had had shut due to budget cutbacks). I got the full arny service record for my series from the Museum but via the EMLRA so got a discount, and it comes in English. The EMLRA were very helpful when I was a member.
 
thanks guys, I managed to find out more and thought I'd feedback


VD/CVD = (Vehicle Depot), Ashchurch, Gloucestershire

ADPCON Automatic Data Processing Convertion (it's details were entered onto an early computer)

RRW was, as you say, The Royal Regiment of Wales,

The Regiment went to Belize from August 1977 until February 1978 and the vehicle was part of the Rear Party (R/Pty) that stayed behind in the UK. It went back to the Regimental establishment on 24th March 1978 when they returned home to Aldershot.
Following that is was in the CVD from 1982 to 1997 before being sold on

thanks for your help!
