Yesterday, there was a major search & rescue exercise at South Cerney, Gloucestershire simulating a mid-air collision between an aircraft and a helicopter. Sea King ZH541/V of 22 Sqn arrived for the SAR bit from Chivenor. The ‘helicopter’ in the scenario was this ex AAC Lynx -but which one? The tail boom has been conveniently cut off with the serial! Can anyone identify it please?

It appears to be XZ209 the example in use with JARTS at Boscombe for just such training scenario’s

Many thanks Mark. Went through the latest copy of W&R but couldn’t find one that matched.
