Latinbear Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 As much as I dislike Facebook I suppose it has its uses. Details of the Lynx's farewell tour this Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Vor!!! Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Why not have this over the weekend when more people can enjoy it ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but presumably the airfield is closed at weekends which would mean bringing everybody in. ATC, ground crew, fire cover etc etc. and that means either overtime being paid for civilian staff or time off in lieu for service personnel. If anybody from Yeovilton is reading the thread perhaps they can offer a view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 That's another type I loved that's going, makes me feel old... I've never been a big fan of helicopters but the Lynx has always been different and I have more kits in the stash and models on the shelves of the Lynx than of all other helicopters put together. I know that the replacement is afterall a modern Lynx but the original will always be in my mind as an example of elegance that few helicopters have matched 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris57 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 In the right place at the right time! Saw the Lynx flypast about 15:00hrs today. They came right overhead. Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglierating Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hmm. Capability loss. Bit premature if u ask me but costs and metrics have been calculated...do without Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I was just going to be really indignant that the flypast was on a Friday when I had to go to Londinium only to realise that they headed North from Lyme and thus bypassed my bit of coast.
