Lynx Reconnaissance Vehicle at Harvey Legion Park

**The Lynx reconnaissance vehicle is a United States-built tracked reconnaissance armoured fighting vehicle, which was employed by the armed forces of the Netherlands and Canada.

The vehicle designed as a command and reconnaissance vehicle, a replacement for the World War Two Ferret Scout Car. The Lynx was almost nine ton in weight, had a crew of three (commander, observer, and driver) and mounted both a 50 cal and a 30 cal machine guns. They were first deployed to Germany in 1968/69 in the Regimental Recce Troop of the Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians). They were later employed in the recce platoons of infantry battalions and with the brigade recce squadrons. Although the Lynx had a higher silhouette and was noisier than the older Ferret, it was amphibious, it parts were interchangeable with the standard 113 APC, had greater fire power, and a much better cross country capability. The Lynx was replaced in 1996 by the Coyote. - NBMHP
