I agree with Al, even the indicator lights are the same. So it will be interesting if the Lynx on the cover "- In Canadian Service", is the one in shown in post 4 by Al Nickolson as the registration number 123945 is and Australian Registration number and is therefore one which has escaped from Australia.

ARN 123945 if Australian, is hull number 1637 with engine number 3G82075, one of the 170 which arrived here in 1943/44.

If it is ARN 123945 then it was not a vehicle used in Canadian service.

Another 123921 has been exported and is now in England or the USA.

I have all the 170 Australian ARN's and Hull numbers if any one has a need.

Mine is ARN - 123980, the last in the block of Lynx ARN numbers. Hull number 1726 with engine number 3G85015.

I am looking forward to this book, Clive.

Reg did, indeed, purchase his Lynx from an Australian collector - already restored. Came from Adelaide, South Australia, I seem to recall. Long time ago now - early to mid 1990s.

There were 171 Lynx in Australian service: registrations 123810 to 123980 inclusive.
