Julien Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Westland Lynx 3. Pics thanks to bootneck Mike. The Lynx 3 was a private venture prototype built by Westland. The aircraft was manufactured using the major components of Lynx airframes in 1984 at Yeovil, Somerset, as an 11 seat military battlefield helicopter powered by two Rolls Royce Gem 60 turboshaft engines. The Lynx 3 Prototype first flew in 1984 but lack of orders caused the development to be abandoned in 1988. ZE477 was the only Lynx 3 built, it was subsequently used for trials and demonstration work through 1984-85 before its last flight on 10th March 1987. ZE477 then remained in storage until August 1988 when Westland agreed to transfer this interesting one-off prototype to the Helicopter Museum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
