This 1978-vintage Lynx is preserved in the markings in which it served 815 NAS aboard HMS Endurance in the South Atlantic, having been airfreighted from Brize Norton to the Falklands aboard an An-124 in October 2008. This is not the first time the Lynx has been on public display - apart from being in the static at the 2006 Yeovilton Air Day, XZ246 made an appearance at the Ideal Homes Exhibition in London in 1983!

HMS Endurance Flight.

This Lynx first flew in July 1976 and served upon HMS Amazon and HMS Broadsword. Prior to 1987 XZ246 was converted to HAS3(ICE) standard by the installation of specialised equipment for use in the Antarctic and embarked upon the Antarctic Patrol ship HMS Endurance. It was placed into storage in 2010 and is now on display, in these high-vis markings, at the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum/Aeroventure.
