Jack wrote his memoirs but to the best of my knowledge it never got published.

I'm really interested in locating the photo that Kevin T refers to in a previous post. My fathers tank was called LEILANI so i'm almost positive he is describing a picture of my dads burnt out M10

Sincerely, Mike

Hi Mike,

I was having trouble with the search option on Missing Lynx so I put in a request for the original poster, Michael Kenny to repost it. It is there now showing the name and census number although it only shows the name as LEILAN.
Anyway I hope this is what you are looking for.

cheers

Kevin
