Lynx II, hull # 4225

Russ,

Thanks you for your comments. It was a pleasure to meet you in person and trade tales. If that picture I took for you, worked out, you should share it on this thread and your Lynx story.

Les Fisher sent me this video from last weekend.

I have seen the work you have put into it and it is great to see it finally making it out to shows. You are always learning something new when you stand and talk to the "old guys" who used these vehicles. The best way to draw out the stories is to have the vehicle there to see.

Guys,

We've had the pleasure to have our two youngest granddaughters visiting since last month. Having two precocious young ladies aged six and ten have definitely changed the dynamics here.
Needless to say, there wasn't much opportunity to work on the Lynx. This is the closest I got to it during their visit. With a couple of days to recover I should soon be back at it.

Guys,

Just received a great picture from Barry Churcher of his C15TA and Dirk Leegwater's Lynx during a trip to Normandy. I'm always looking for pictures of Lynxes whether they be new or old. This picture is several years old and Stefan Leegwater is between the two vehicles.

Peter, It would be neat to re-create the pic, considering you have a great looking Lynx and Stefan's C15TA now resides with Barry C here in Canada.

Chris,

I've got a lot to do to get the Lynx up to the same standard, but that is one of my goals along with Bruce Parker's Fox and carrier.
The last of the storage bins is now installed. The original issue padlocks were manufactured by Corbin, in Belleville, which is just down the road. I've attached a picture of a Lynx 11, from a South African museum, for reference. In my mind this is an unrestored Lynx 11 which even has the original paint.

Peter, you let me drive your Lynx and you can have all the time on the Fox you want. The carrier too if you're a sucker for punishment.

The Corbin locks were indeed made in Belleville and the factory was still there when I worked there in the mid-1990's (just west of the Moira River and north of Highway 2) but it's gone now. Luckily they are a commercial lock and, other than the 'Made in Canada' that you want for yours, the American made ones are identical save for that. The Fox takes 4, the carrier 5, and the HUW a staggering 8. If you or anybody else has any spare one kicking about...
