Hello Mike,
We possess just over a dozen vehicles of the M113 family, 3 of which are operational Lynx's.

Here is a photo from today of the Lynx located at the armoury in Sherbrooke (67-35979). Sorry, I didn't have time to clean all the snow off it before the photo!

Robin I believe the Lynx you speak of from the Littlefield debacle ended up in Colorado and was cut apart to make a German tank replica

The Australian army trialed that vehicle (actually quite a few nations did) against an M114, they managed to sink it and rolled the M114. They decided they did not require either. See attached pic of M114, waiting to have it's belly tickled. Regards Doug.

The conversion shop is PanzerFabrik, and I think they scratchbuilt the Luchs, and got the Lynx running separately.

I came across this is one of my manuals. Says the Australians fitted 76mm Saladin turrets on a bunch. Didn't see it on the list.

It is there, see M113A1 FSV (Fire Support Vehicle) x 15. That was replaced by MRV (Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle) with the Scorpion turret x 42. Regards Doug

And so it was. My bad.
I do remember seeing a Couple personnel carriers in St Thomas at a little museum. Not sure if they lynx''s. Did not look sloped enough for m114's. Trying to load pictures but not having any luck. Does anyone know of the ones I am referring to?

Hey Wayne
That looks like Lynx that someone threw pink paint on in 2007. See pic. Interesting that the plaque states the CFR but the vehicle is otherwise devoid of markings. Any idea of the CR2 number? Regards Doug

On my next visit to Sherbrooke I can get more info and a better photo if there is no snow, and if the temperature is above -20C.

Ok thanks. The CR2 number can be found stamped into the far upper RHS glacis plate. Or above the engine bay rear door handle. I will try and attach a pic of location, but seem to be having issues attaching pictures. Regards Doug Quote:

I believe I have a pic of a CH-147 (Chinook) lifting a disabled Lynx while on excercise in Chilcotin, BC, Jan 1987. I'll scan and post it if I can locate it. FWIW I backed a Lynx into a M-113 Queen Mary when off loading from my flat deck breaking a headlight on the 113 with the toboggan rack on the Lynx (remember those contraptions?). They were peppy little suckers compared to a 113. One of those oops moments

Ok, you've got me, what is an M-113 Queen Mary? I have never heard of that version before. I take it that it was the exact opposite of a Lynx and was a slug? Regards Doug
