Love that little windscreen. Might have to find out how it is made and fitted and make one for mine.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Regards Rick.

Default Thanks

Alex,

Thanks for the great pictures. I particularly enjoyed the second picture, you need to be good on vehicle recognition to spot the Lynx under the crowd. Must of been quite the moment for all involved.

Rick,

There appear to be several versions of a windscreen. This is the version for my mark of Lynx. Limited to driver only, and the windshield wiper is hand powered.

Peter,
There are lots of these liberation pictures where there are so much people holding onto the vehicle, that you can basically only see the wheels and canvas!

Rick,
The original picture can be enlarged quite a bit; maybe that helps with the windscreen.

Looks to be welded in place.

Default Some XII Manitoba Dragoons Lynx scout cars

Peter,

Hereby some photo's from XIIMD Lynx scoutcars.
We see cars from 1st Troop, 5th Troop, 9th Troop, 12th Troop and 20th Troop.
Look at the twin mount on 20th Troop car 204 (D-squadron) sporting both a .30 M1919A4 and a .50 HB machine gun.
The .50 has been adapted and now has right hand feed.
The Bren was used also as shown on the car from 5th Troop.

Marco

Default Thank you

Marco,

Great pictures! Just the type of pictures that I was hoping to see. The field modifications to increase storage with the use of ammunition boxes,gear on the engine deck, accident damage and the additional firepower. The 0.30 Browning seemed to be popular with the lads from Manitoba. Both versions of the Lynx also appear to be in use at the same time.

Thanks again, Peter

Guys,

Decided to focus by putting aside the more cosmetic portion of my restoration and concentrate on the engine and running gear. Progressing well. Now at the point with the engine compartment that when I drop a tool it doesn't always end up on the garage floor.

Peter
