Hi Dave,
Yes it’s a Lynx AH9 based at Dishforth N Yorks and these are being upgraded to the AH9A standard (upgraded engines giving better high and hot performance just right for Afganistan) You can tell the converted AH9s by the large upturned exhausts.
Thanks again for the kind comments..
regards
Cliff

Great shots Cliff.
Forgive my ignorance but – an army Lynx with wheels?

Lovely shots Cliff, I guess that is Upavon in the background of the last shot.
Thanks for the kind comments… Yes it is Upavon in the background.
Scott sorry I didn’t get a pic of the gate guard at Neatheravon.

Not a fan of egg beaters myself but no denying they are some great shots.

Whereabouts on The Plain did you take these photos? I often see Lynx and Gazelle flying around Larkhill and recently I’ve noticed a number of Sea Kings, and Chinooks (from Boscombe I believe), but I have yet to see a Merlin.
