Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

Guys,

Receiving new to me, period pictures of Lynxes, in service, is akin to Christmas.
The pictures are of RCD Lynxes in NW Europe when the RCD was the Corps reconnaissance regiment. The first picture shows that the RCD did place their front unit and formation signs on the front storage bin rather than the glacis plate. Makes life easier for me since I much prefer this position. Also the fact that the vehicle number was not always placed inside the D squadron identifier.
The second picture shows that the RCD also mounted 0.30 Brownings on their Lynxes. To date, I've only found photographs of the 12th Manitoba Dragoons with 0.30 Brownings on their Lynxes. I see they have now relegated their Bren gun to the rifle rack above the 19 set and freed up more floor space.
