Guys,

My way of dealing with all the restrictions imposed by this pandemic. Go play in my neighbor's fields.

Guys,

Thanks to Jordan Baker, I now have two new sets of seat covers for the Lynx. Well made and durable, they certainly look the parts.

Hi Pete,
Your gunners seat is probably a bit more comfortable than the one in mine.

Rick/David,

My understanding of the Observers/Gunners seat is that it went through several evolutions during the development of the the Lynx. The seat that you have Rick is the first version and the second drawing is of the later version. I was able to replicate the raising/lower mechanism, but the seat base pan and back was too much of a challenge. I elected to use the Driver's seat which uses a conventional CMP seat mounted on a unique raising/lowering mechanism as a model for my Observers/Gunners seat.

Guys,

Another quiet day in the county. I hope the 'light at the end of the tunnel' is not an express freight train, and that life will return to normal.

Guys,

Our oldest grandson, Chase, is visiting and of course we had to take the Lynx for a spin. He is now the third generation of our family to take the Lynx for a drive.
