Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

Guys,

Thanks for all your great contributions to this thread. I just hope that it will motivate others who have Lynx pictures or stories to step up.
I continue to be amazed at how small this world of ours actually is. I live just minutes from the old air base at Picton.

Thanks again, Peter

Hi Bruce,

Very interesting, my Lynx, according to what I've been told was shipped from Greece to Canada and then some time later came back to Europe. It went through several big time collectors before I bought it in Luxembourg. I wonder if its the third 'Gregg' Lynx?

If it is it will have aged far better than the other 'Gregg' in that picture.

Pierre Olivier runs the "surviving panzers" website, which consists of PDF's listing all sorts of WW2 armour vehicles around the world. There is also a PDF on the Dingo and Lynx...maybe not all info is up-to-date or complete, but at least it gives you an idea of surviving vehicles.

At the risk of hijacking your post again Peter, here are 2 photos (hope they are viewable) first at the airfield near your home, second downtown Toronto; note armour to right of the picture! Filmshoot DIEPPE .

It's a long shot, but Peter Ford was down visiting with Bill Gregg when the Lynx arrived in Rockwood and he took a LOT of photos of them. Some went to Bart Vanderveen who ran some in an issue of Wheels and Tracks about the vehicles coming back to Canada.

So there should be photos out there somewhere nicely documenting what they all looked like upon arrival, including wartime Canadian Army markings and later Greek Army markings.

I think that might be my Lynx in the film.

I have the same right hand headlight blackout cover, The inside of the turret has similar metal strips around the top as the one with the crew sitting on it and also my front box doesn't have the strap type hinges but ones similar to the type used on the LAATs, which you can just make out in the last photo posted.

I will try to get some pictures later.
