When I got the RCA Museum's lynx running several years ago, the same seat was missing, and I thought I would have to make something up. Months later I found it in a storage shed elsewhere on base laying in a triwall full of picture frames.

Gunners seat
Guys,
Finally saw the light and turned the seat base and raising/lowering mechanism over to Andy to dismantle and rebuild. Here's what it now looks like. I did get a NOS spring from LWD, the pile of rust is all that remains of the original spring. Decided to rebuild a conventional CMP seat since the correct seat seems to be "unobtanium". Should I ever find the real thing it would be an easy swap. Peter IMG_2497.JPG IMG_2496.JPG

Getting crowded
Guys,
Andy performed to his usual high standard and fabricated the lower portion of the Gunners seat which allows the seat to raise/lower and rotate. Unable to find the correct seat I have substituted a conventional CMP seat which is the same as the Driver's seat. Now for sandblasting, paint and some new seat cushions. Definitely makes the crew compartment feel tight. Peter IMG_2566.jpg IMG_2569.jpg IMG_2571.jpg

Soldiering on
Guys,
A good friend sent me this picture of a Lynx 11, along with a C15TA, serving in South Vietnam. I would hazard a guess that this would be in the mid 60's. I also suspect that these rigs would have quite the tales to share at this stage of their lives. Enjoy, Peter IMG_2576.JPG

Peter,
There used to be a thread on the Lynx in Vietnam. That has disappeared for some reason. This is the next best one: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=13686

Cozy
Guys,
Started mocking up some of the kit that equips the Lynx, in this case the Bren gun. Certainly makes the crew compartment quite cozy. The Lynx is an open topped vehicle, I can only imagine how claustrophobic it must be in an enclosed armoured vehicle. Peter IMG_2578.jpg IMG_2581.jpg

Spring has sprung
Guys,
Our youngest grandaughter, Grace missed school today due to a dentist's appointment, and of course I was on the hook to provide some entertainment. Her first request was to go for a spin in the Lynx. After that it was the Mustang's turn. Enjoy, we did. Peter 002.jpg 001.jpg Last edited by Peter Duggan; 25-03-21 at 02:18. Reason: Correction
