The wife was less than enthusiastic when she heard that I was considering trading Lynxes if they threw in an extra set of tracks.

Frank, thanks again, it was a blast. Peter

Well Peter, even if you did manage to get both Lynx I have to ask, mathematically, would that be Lynx times 2 or Lynx squared? Never mind. The wife would provide the mathematical constant regardless.

Guys,

Borrowed this picture from a post by "Marco", back in 2006, regarding Staghound equipment. Taken at war's end of the 12th Manitoba Dragoons turning over their equipment.

Certainly seems as if pintle mounted 0.30 caliber Brownings were standard equipment on Lynx 11s, not limited to the occasional exception.

Guys,

We had some good friends over for the weekend and of course it resulted in some joyrides in the Lynx. Good practice for the upcoming OMVA Bivouac on the weekend of the 20th.

Guys,

Had a great time at the OMVA Bivouac this weekend despite the torrential downpour on Sunday. Besides meeting old and new friends, where do you see two distinctly different reconnaissance vehicles that served with our Forces and both called Lynxes ?

Guys,

I found this picture on the internet. I'm looking to find where this Lynx is located and who owns it. Judging by the registration number painted on the front storage bin, I'm assuming that it is somewhere in Europe. Any assistance would be welcomed. Thanks, Peter
