Pierre Olivier runs the "surviving panzers" website, which consists of PDF's listing all sorts of WW2 armour vehicles around the world. There is also a PDF on the Dingo and Lynx...maybe not all info is up-to-date or complete, but at least it gives you an idea of surviving vehicles.

It's a long shot, but Peter Ford was down visiting with Bill Gregg when the Lynx arrived in Rockwood and he took a LOT of photos of them. Some went to Bart Vanderveen who ran some in an issue of Wheels and Tracks about the vehicles coming back to Canada.

So there should be photos out there somewhere nicely documenting what they all looked like upon arrival, including wartime Canadian Army markings and later Greek Army markings.

I think that might be my Lynx in the film.

I have the same right hand headlight blackout cover, The inside of the turret has similar metal strips around the top as the one with the crew sitting on it and also my front box doesn't have the strap type hinges but ones similar to the type used on the LAATs, which you can just make out in the last photo posted.

I will try to get some pictures later.

James

Some pictures from before I picked her up from Luxembourg.

Mine is the only one I have seen with the butt type hinges on the forward stowage box and you can see the metal strip around the inside of the turret instead of the thick pads. Lastly there is the pin hole blackout light.

So, the old girl might be a film star too?
