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

Peter,

There are some more reports which are interesting to read.

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

Folks,

Started by cutting holes in the new firewall to mount the oil conditioner and air cleaner. Managed to straighten out and dry-fit the shelving units for radio and gear. Makes the crew compartment even more cozy. Back out to be stripped and primed. I suspect that both the oil conditioner and oil bath air cleaner location are different that that of the Mark 1 Lynx. Ross, thanks again for the NOS filter kit for the conditioner.

Guys,

The best decision I made with regards to the Lynx restoration was to join MLU. I have enjoyed significant support, advice, parts and history. The latest is the attached picture from Peter Simundson. My attempt to decipher the faded writing on the back of the picture is "g pl trg at BadHarzburg, Jan 52, Cpl Warrander, Cpt Stevenson". Peter stated the unit is the Queens Own Rifles.

Peter, thanks again
