Lynx II, hull # 4225

[rob love]

Lynx 1 manual shows two spoke wheel. The lynx mk2 here in Shilo has 3 spoke. I just walked over to it now to confirm.

Two photo's showing a .50BMG on a Ford Lynx.
This particular vehicle is from 20th Troop (D-squadron) XII Manitoba Dragoons.

Marco, is that a twin gun mount of some kind? Almost looks like a .50 HB on the right side with either an air cooled .50 cal or .30 cal to the left with a shorter barrel. Also might be two ammo boxes, one each side of the gun pair. Or, I've been into the wine FAR TOO early this morning!

David,

The gun mount would have been a field invention I guess.
The gun on the right of the photo is the .30Cal M1919A4, the one on the left is a .50 BMG and looks to be the HB version although the photo is not very clear.

Marco, John, Rob,and all,

I continue to be amazed at the level of knowledge and the willingness to share with MLU members. It has certainly made my task much easier and enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed the field report on the Lynx 11.

Thanks again, Peter
