Default Ex MOD Bomb locator wanted

I am based in the UK and looking for an ex-MOD (Foerster) Ferex
4.021/Mk26 bomb locator. These machines were widely used by EOD and I
understand that they have recently been replaced / are in the process
of being replaced by a newer model (4.032). The older machines have
either been recently sold off or are due to be sold off soon, so
hopefully a number should be available.

I require a machine in good overall condition and in working order and
would also be interested in any accessories that may be available -
transit case, data-logger etc. If you are a dealer with one in stock
or have a lead as to where I can obtain one, I would be very pleased
to hear from you!

Default Re: Ex MOD Bomb locator wanted

I have a Fisher Gemini 3 which I used for locating crashed aircraft
wreckage, I have lost count the number of sites we excavated using my
earlier Mk2 model throughout the 80's & 90's. A truely superb unit for
finding deeply buried wreckage. Ian McLachlan has a Forster Locator, but it
was an awkward thing to set up so the Gemini ruled the crash sites.

Try a G Mk3 or a TM808 unit

Fighter Stories 2 will be out in May, many of our excavations found with the
Gemini will be in there.

Best regards

Simon
