Lynx MK1 almost ready

[DanJahn]

Hi

Possibly the only running Lynx MKI ( not MKII ) in Canada should be unveiled very soon. I'll try to get pictures for you as soon as possible. If your out west come by and see it at our museum in Chilliwack, B.C..

Reg Hogson's Lynx is a MK1 brought in from Australia in running conditon, was in great shape last time I saw it. My MK 1 went to Dirk Leegwater in Holland several years ago.

Hi Jim

From what I understand Reg's Lynx has had a number of MKII alterations. Our MKI serial #23 is as close as we can get it to an early ( to match the serial number ) MKI.

I hope to get pictures on here or our web site ( www.cmedcentre.ca )as soon as possible.

Thanks

Dan

There was a newstory about a T55 imported on the Wet Coast by a private collector. Is the museum's T55 the same one?

Ah yes! QM at Chilliwack. I remember the place well. Long lines outside. Surly staff inside. Everything issued was size 2 - (too big, too small, too short, too long, too few). I almost broke my ankle doing combat PT with sticks on their lawn. Damned Gym Nasties.

Hi Terry

Yes that is the T55 you read about. We convinced the owner to join our museum group and to park his tank on the museum grounds. He even let me drive it.
