Lynx II, hull # 4225

Mike,

Thanks for your input, logical and convincing. Now to acquire one of those 50 round cloth bandoliers and have a lid fabricated for the box.

David,

Now to find some more bits for the wireless setup. One item that is not on the stowage list is a flare gun and kit. In my mind it is appropriate kit for a reconnaissance vehicle. Under the parts section there is a "flares in container" which suggests it would be issued. I will take some liberties, which I am convinced the crews did on a frequent basis. In the same vein, I suspect that all the anti gas materials were discarded to provide more space for items that would make life more practical for the crews.

Thanks again, Peter

I recently had a "working" copy of my Lynx1 Spare Parts List made.
Last night I was browsing through it and saw the following on page 39-7:

C19SR 110353 Emergency door lock key 2

This does not move the key discussion forward much but it does confirm that two keys were issued with each vehicle. Maybe the trapped occupants opened one of the vision hatches and handed the key out to their rescuers!

Guys,

I liberated this picture from Alex van de Wetering's post on WW2 Military History and Equipment, because of the three RCD Lynx 11's in the background. The first one seems to sport a 0.30 Browning under a tarp.

Guys,

Andy fabricated a lid for the box on the top shelf that holds the bandolier and rounds. Thanks to Mike Gurr for the convincing logic for how the box was used.

Does any one sell copies of the WS19 Installation Instructions shown above?

Also, what are the dimensions of the tool bag in the tools illustration above?

Kind regards,

Louis Meulstee’s web site Wireless for the Warrior may be of help?
