Lurforsvaret's 337 Skv was reestablished in 1980 to operate Lynx helicopters from the Coast Guard's Nordkapp class patrol vessels in the Arctic. The first helicopters arrived in October 1980. After serving for 34 years, the last was retired in December 2014. 235 is here seen at the RNoAF Collection in the configuration it had when stowed in the onboard hangar. 235 crashed at Bardufoss 12 January 1988 and was rebuilt by Westland with much of the airframe replaced. The rebuild retained the c/n and the remains of the pre-crash machine went to the Techincal School at Kjevik also as 235.
