Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

Guys,

The rain stopped for a day and I took the Lynx out for a run through our neighbor farmer's fields. Now to train the operator in the proper use of the clutch and choke.

Looks and sounds great.

This pic is attributed to Bagnacavallo, Italy, January 1944. If true, the Lynx name should not be a regimental one. Or maybe it is a HQ one? Prove me wrong????

Bruce,
Isn't that a Daimler Dingo ? (Locker on side instead of fuel tank)

Bruce,

Thanks for the period picture of a Daimler Dingo. Every picture adds to our knowledge. Do you have any details of which unit the machine was with ?

I've noted that the Canadian troopers continued to use the term Dingo for both the Daimler and the subsequent Ford Lynx, while official documentation used the correct terms Dingo and Lynx.

Attached is an excerpt from a Hamilton newspaper that Jordan Baker sent me which talks about International Harvesters contribution to the war effort.

Here's one more pic of a low flying Lynx. I am sure this was done only for publicity.
I think that if a regular driver treated his vehicle like this, he would be standing in front of the CO for explaining his misbehaviour.

Hanno.

I think I have seen that photo before somewhere, the context of which was that it was one of a series taken by Ford of a Lynx being put through its paces by an employee on Ford’s Proving Grounds, somewhere in Ontario. Note the complete lack of markings on the Lynx.
