CFR Request Thread

I knew what the vehicle was called. I put M113 1/2 Lynx as this distinguishes it from the Ford Lynx wheeled recon vehicle. This term is also used to ID it on other websites and photo galleries. Also adding M113 generally gets more attention.

Then why not write on the M113? Using a fictitious vehicle name gives zero credibility to your proposed book. You are also starting out on the wrong foot if you are going to use photo galleries and websites as your source of information.

I said M113 1/2 Lynx for a few reasons. Some people know under different names. The Ontario Regiment tank museum has it listed on there website as
" M113 Command and Reconnaissance Vehicle - Lynx", it is listed in some books as M113 1/2 (FMC Designation), I have even seen it listed as M113 C&R.

I posted it as M113 Lynx because I am trying to acquire photos and info needed and I put down what I thought was a common name of the vehicle.

From my post in the other thread.

Thanks so much for the info,gives me a place to start doing some research..I'm also trying to find some time period photos of Canadian m38s..I managed to piece together a decent unit out of 2 that I found..one was a hardtop with the gas heater that came out of a barn along with 22 others near Pembroke,this one had no c.f.r on the frame so I suspect its one of the 1st 300..no markings visible under the repaint..the 2nd one I used for the frame and vin plate mainly...I'm told there's very little to go by for info on these m38s..all I know is it was out of london..I suspect going thru old pics is my best chance of getting some info..does anyone know of a site that has such photos??..I've checked the R.C.R site with no luck
