Westland Lynx HAS.3 blade colours

Recommended Posts

G'day people,

I am trying to determine the main rotor blade colours for a Naval Lynx (HAS.3) embarked upon a British naval destroyers at the time of the Falklands War. The Walkarounds section has plenty of useful fuselage and tail rotor pics bu I cannot find any decent main rotor blade shots. Pictures of the surviving airframes don't seem to have any fitted.

I know the tail rotor blades were olive drab with red/white/red flashes, but what colour were the main rotor blades? I am guessing that the undersides were black, but were the upper surfaces black or olive drab?,

cheers,

Pappy
