The Lynx manufactured for the Canadian army had the observer moved to a position to the left rear of the commanders cupola. Perhaps this is the reason CR-1 and CR-2 manufacturers designations.

To the best of my knowledge that is exactly the reason for the 2 different designations. There was a "Super Lynx" version, but nobody bought it, so it never got beyond prototype stage. Outwardly it looked pretty much the same hull, with an uprated engine and weapons station IIRC. I don't have the details. Regards Doug

An older thread but I found an anomaly for Ed. While preparing to paint the Lynx at the front gate here on the base (serial CR2-88, CFR 67-35897), I went to my online copy of CFP-318-9 (manual of camo and concealment) and here was the listing for the Camo pattern for the CR2, or as the official DND manual called it, the M113-1/2.

Nice find Rob! I am familiar with that anomaly as I have the document in question in my collection, sadly the author of CFP 318-9 used a colloquialism rather than the correct name which was and still is: Carrier, Command and Reconnaissance Full Tracked Armoured, Lynx.

I am used to colloquialisms used in messages, referring to things like Iltis Jeep, or M151A2 Jeep, but it is not that often you see them in the actual publications.
As an aside, when I finish adding the markings etc to the lynx, I'll post some photos for reference. Way too hot today to be out at the gate. |
