I’ve been writing an article about sub hunting with helos and I came across an extremely rare pic, I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t fake and also asked a trusted friend for conformation as to what I saw, here have a look…
Yes it is true, it’s an Argentine Lynx. Aparently there were 8 Mk-84’s on order but never taken up they did however have two in service both Mk-23’s
0734 3-H-41 Lynx Mk23 WA.035 Værlose (DK) mil 27aug78 jun98 to RDAF S-035
0735 3-H-142 Lynx Mk23 WA.036 MUAN Com.Espora pre sep94 jul96 w/o 15may82
Wonders will never cease!

It is a pitty really, this helo in Argie service would have done wonders, especially if they had of held off the war for another couple of years. Pure politics.
