Hi,
Anybody know what vehicle is being towed by the BARV?

David, bit of a challenge. Closest I can get is a Mk 4 Ferret but there are a number of details which don't fit the production vehicle. It's about the right size and the crewman is RTR so maybe an early trials vehicle at FVRDE?
Interesting if someone can come up with a definitive answer. Try Missing Lynx?

As Stephen says, it looks like a Ferret or a Fox, but the fact that the wheels appear to be bolted flat onto the hubs make me wonder whether it is just some form of trailer

Looks to me like it is not being towed but is being recovered. The lines at front and rear suggest a trials vehicle. Shape and size suggest a ferret but the middle section extends below the hubs so does not match any UK vehicle I am aware of. Maybe extended downwards to increase stability when in the water.
