Photo Comment

First flight 11 December 1979, and delivered as an HT1 to the Army Air Corps on 7 January 1980. The designation later changed to AH1 and later on, the Lynx was modified to AH7. It is here seen at the start of a combat mission over Afghanistan at the age of 28 years. The Lynx was withdrawn from use on 31 March 2014, Middle Wallop. Stripped for spares and stored at Everett Aero at Sproughton in late 2014. Then moved to storage at the Delta Force Paintball Center, Upminster in July 2016, moved to Billericay paintball in April 2017 and eventually to Delta Force Paintball in Maidenhead by late '23
