Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

David,

When the Lynx was demilitarized, it was quick and dirty. The only item that was taken apart was the drive shaft. Everything else was cut with a torch. This includes everything from the hull, frame to the electrical system and all the controls. Having said that, I have been very fortunate to locate or repair virtually every one of these items. I have been pleasantly surprised at the amount of NOS parts that I have come across. Networking with MLU members has been great and very rewarding.
My greatest challenge will be the armoured sponsons for the fuel tanks. I have been able to acquire two fuel tanks and have the bottom portions of the sponsons that can be repaired. The top portions and covers may have to fabricated.
All in all, this trip down the restoration road is very rewarding, the people that have assisted along the way have made it very worthwhile.
