Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

Jason,
Thanks for the information on the CWM Lynx. I hope that their front bin was a faithful reproduction since it will most likely provide all the dimensions for my front bin when I get around to it. The same goes for the bins that are mounted on the rear fenders. Peter

PETER I don't say that the parts we built in 2010 are 100% accurate as we had nothing to go by but Don Dingwall and I did the spec for them based on the original mounting points, photos and Drawings. I've always trusted Don as a master model maker with a very sharp eye for proportion and detail.

I hope they can serve as some form of refrence for you but take the info with a grain of salt as they aren't of the period.

RICK- I never found the Lynx "fun" to drive it seemed I was always short on space but the steering wheel wasn't horrible. It did take a considerable Ammount of heaving to turn it when stopped, basically you couldn't, but you didn't rack your knuckles on everything in the compartment. You can really see why the Ferret wheel is on a reverse angle tho!

Here is a pic of the CWM one on a cold wet day in 2010. Don D. Is driving and I'm the very wet commander.

Jason, Sorry that I didn't make the connection between you and the CWM Lynx earlier. I dug through my CMP magazines and found #56 which has some great pictures of you, Don and the Lynx. It is great that there are people such as yourself and Don that have helped keep our history alive.

Marco and Rick, Thanks again for the Lynx pictures. Every one helps.

Rick, thanks for your post about the bin lid being stuck partially open on the Lynx. Went back for another look after your comments and it all makes sense now. Just for a giggle, can you recreate that look with your Lynx for us sometime?

I have driven the Shilo Lynx numerous times over the past 4 years, and do not feel it is cramped at all. However, having recently driven Shilo's Dingo, I cannot say the same for that vehicle.

Marco: That photo is from last weekend in Brandon...in fact I drove it to and from that spot. Where did you find it at?

Rob,

The photo was sent by a friend who also was in Shilo that weekend.

Don't know if this image has been put up already, but there is a nice image of a NZ Lynx here:
