How about sending along a photo?

I do not have a photo right now because it was dark inside the carrier and I did not have a flashlight. I had just enough light to read the dataplate by eye and I wrote it down.

I can show you a pic of the CFR number however as it is painted on externally.

It was recorded by the CF as CR2. Don't ask me how I know.

Ok. I probably miss read it. I will go back and take a photo of it tomorrow.

Yes, double-checking might be best. If you can get a photograph to confirm helps.

Didn't I already ask if it was CR-2-whatever in an earlier post...

Rob, I think you should be on the list for a free book as you established what the vehicle was actually called.

I knew what the vehicle was called. I put M113 1/2 Lynx as this distinguishes it from the Ford Lynx wheeled recon vehicle. This term is also used to ID it on other websites and photo galleries. Also adding M113 generally gets more attention.

Then why not write on the M113? Using a fictitious vehicle name gives zero credibility to your proposed book. You are also starting out on the wrong foot if you are going to use photo galleries and websites as your source of information.
