The WG.30 was originally known as the Super Lynx, alluding to its military derivation but was never very successful, only 40 being made. 21 went to India as part of an aid deal from 1986 (2 w/o and 19 thought still to be stored). This 1981-built example was retained by Westland and was later moved to Italy for structural testing prior to development of the AW.139

BA's first Chinook, pictured in the days when Gatwick had its own heliport, near the original airport Beehive building (still there today). In 1978 BA was the first to order the Commercial Chinook, for North Sea oil rig support missions. But by 1985 it was decided to sell the six helicopters which had been acquired. G-BJAC became N234CH then C-FHFH but was w/o at Comox, BC on 30.10.97
