Grant Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 What do you get when you lop the top deck of a Lynx Mk9 and stick a brace of T800s in place of the Gems? A Mk9 alpha. Sadly no pictures for you guys, as no cameras allowed on-site. Looks quite slick with the full IRCM fit. I am sure someone will be outside the fence with a camera soon. cheers Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Fleming Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Interesting, a whole new engine and it doesn't get a new mark number. Talk about trying to disguise an upgrade!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Interesting, a whole new engine and it doesn't get a new mark number. Talk about trying to disguise an upgrade!! It is all about the paper work, apparently. New mark number, means complete new paper trial for the MoD and shed loads of re-reporting etc. Too costly, so it is simply a variant, not a new mark. It is your tax £ they are thinking of! cheers Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
