Default More period pictures

Guys,

Received some new to me, period pictures of Lynx 11s in the later months of WW 11. Both Lynx's have field mounted 30 caliber Brownings, interestingly the mounting methods are different to each other. The one picture certainly shows how vulnerable the front storage bin was in service.

Default Another Photo

Peter. Is that a M3A1 Scout Car behind the Lynx in the picture to the right? Have this picture to offer. Although not a war time photo...figured you would like it.

Default Prepping for Aquino weekend

Guys,

Finally found the time to start prepping the Lynx for the upcoming Aquino weekend in Oshawa. I was able to persuade Andy Pomorski to weld on the brackets to mount the crash pads. Only the young and nimble can contort themselves to do what he did. Now to fix up the paint and I should be ready.

Default Crash Pads

Guys,

Cleaned up and repainted, then installed the new crash pads. Quite pleased with how they turned out. Aquino here we come.

Default In Appreciation

Guys,

The Lynx and I had the privilege of chauffeuring Don White a WW 11 veteran who served with the Royal Canadian Dragoons, in a parade honouring our veterans at the recent Aquino weekend. Don was accompanied by Mark Aube, a current member of the RCDs, wearing a WW 11 uniform.

The Aquino weekend at the Ontario Regiment Museum continues to grow and impress each and every year. A must for enthusiasts of heavy green iron.


Peter
