Pictured during the day the type was retired from service within the Royal Netherlands Navy. 283 was delivered to the Dutch Navy on 7 Apr'81 as a SH-14B, later converted to SH-14D and served 860sq until its retirement on 9 Sep'11. The Lynx is preserved at the National Military Museum in Soesterberg since Apr'13. 283 was furnished with a cartoon "That's all Folks" markings", finish flags, mission marks, and names of the final pilots, mechanics, Vessel Security Officers (VSO), Vessel Deck Officers (VDO) and Tactical Coordinators (TACCO).
