Guys,

My son Patrick donated a nice 1943 Long Branch Lee Enfield to the Lynx, great step forward for the kit.

Also got a new "to me" vintage picture of a Lynx 11, when the RCDs were the reconnaissance regiment for the 1st Canadian corps.

Guys,

First really nice day this spring. Couldn't resist, fired up the Lynx and went for a jaunt. My block is 9 kms long, just nice to properly warm up the engine. Our local farmers have yet to work their fields, so we got in some cross country time through some fields and a wood lot as well. Continue to be pleasantly surprised at how nimble and quick the Lynx is for it's size. I suspect that the my grin will take several weeks to wear off.

Peter

Default Loose Lynx seen in Cherry Valley!

Wow! Peter, the Lynx looks really good in the woods! I think you need to now round out the photo portfolio - how about a bit (whole lot) of mud and maybe a stream or creek crossing? You might need a co-driver for that! Keep up the great work and Keep them rolling!
Cheers,

Guys,

Thank you for the positive comments. Now thanks to Richard Hatkoski, the Lynx now has a nice Dewat Inglis Bren Mk 11. The ride was part of the deal. The two of us now have grins that seem etched on.

Peter
