Default Paint

Guys,

I find it quite a contrast that some paint will make. Again, I'm quite biased, but the Lynx is starting to look like the real thing.

I figure that at my pace I will have several years before she's finished with all the bugs worked out.

For comparison I've included the first picture that I saw of the Lynx.

Looking amazing. Shall we see it this weekend at the Oshawa Aquino event?

I wonder if the building she was assembled in looks as good today, Peter?

Default Aquino

Jordan,

Yes, I’m planning on attending Aquino with the Lynx. Hope to see you at the OMVA compound.
Still dealing with leaks. (Don’t want to take your advice literally)

Peter

Default Outing

Guys,

Trailered the Lynx to the OMVA site at the Ontario Tank museum during their Aquino weekend. This show continues to grow and is quite an event. Well worth seeing.

Thanks to Mike Rashotte, I was introduced to Don White a WW 11 veteran who served with the RCD during the Italian and NW campaigns. A fascinating, articulate and energetic individual who volunteers at the museum. Don spent most of his active career crewing their Staghounds.

Limited the Lynx's participation to the display area since she's still shod with the original RF tires. Thanks to some sharp eyed observations I was gently informed that my plumbing for my overflow tank was incorrect. Thanks, this will save me a potentially ugly collapse of my radiator tanks.

I highly recommend this event to military enthusiasts, I was also able to connect with several individuals who have helped with the restoration.

Peter

Peter, It was a pleasure to meet you this past weekend and see your Lynx. A wonderful project, great to see it rescued and repatriated.

Default Thanks and video

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.

Peter
