Photo Comment

Assigned to 9Regt and acting as force protecting for a Dutch Chinook mission to Uruzgan. The mission went well, and this AH7 returned safely at its deployment base Kandahar. This Lynx was first flown on 16 July 1980, was delivered to the Army Air Corps as an AH1 on 4 August 1980. The helicopter was withdrawn from use in December 2013 and stored at Middle Wallop. It was stripped for spares and sold as scrap on in May 2014. It was then seen as stored with Everett Aero at Sproughton, then with the Delta Force Paintball Center at Upminster and later with the same company at Romsey.
