Lynx II, hull # 4225

[David Dunlop]

Marco, is that a twin gun mount of some kind? Almost looks like a .50 HB on the right side with either an air cooled .50 cal or .30 cal to the left with a shorter barrel. Also might be two ammo boxes, one each side of the gun pair. Or, I've been into the wine FAR TOO early this morning!

David,

The gun mount would have been a field invention I guess.
The gun on the right of the photo is the .30Cal M1919A4, the one on the left is a .50 BMG and looks to be the HB version although the photo is not very clear.

Same vehicle in question as the one Marco posted just another shot of it.

Marco, John, Rob,and all,

I continue to be amazed at the level of knowledge and the willingness to share with MLU members. It has certainly made my task much easier and enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed the field report on the Lynx 11.

Thanks again, Peter

It seems that plenty Ford Lynx II's were available, the big problem being to get them across the ocean in time..
