Default Thanks

Alex,
Thanks again ! Another great picture of a Lynx 11, in the colours of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, and sporting a 0.30 caliber Browning. Should I ever win a lottery, I’m going to mount one on mine.

Peter

Default Small stuff

Guys,

Its a Christmas like feeling every time a parcel arrives from LWD parts. Some NOS Lynx parts that include the elusive "protectoscope". The lens has deteriorated over 70 plus years and will require some TLC. Dry mounted it to test the fit and found it had to be quite a challenge to navigate the Lynx under real life conditions.

I'm quite grateful for individuals such as Dirk Leegwater and Brian Asbury, who had the foresight to buy and store such obscure military components with the hope that someone, someday would actually want these parts.


Peter

Default Crash Pad Production

Guys,

I continue to be able to find talented fabricators locally for my Lynx project. Steve Burke of All Canadian Canvasworks in Belleville made 20 new crash pads for me. There appear to be two different styles of the crash pads, one the type on the CWM Lynx 11 and the second which I obtained from Stefan Leegwater. I elected to use the one from LWD as the template.

Now to have the supporting angle iron welded to the crew compartment rim and I'll be one step closer.

Peter

Default More period pictures

Guys,

Received some new to me, period pictures of Lynx 11s in the later months of WW 11. Both Lynx's have field mounted 30 caliber Brownings, interestingly the mounting methods are different to each other. The one picture certainly shows how vulnerable the front storage bin was in service.

Peter

Peter. Is that a M3A1 Scout Car behind the Lynx in the picture to the right? Have this picture to offer. Although not a war time photo...figured you would like it.
