23mar2017: Royal Navy farewells the Westland Lynx helicopter

You are warmly invited to the FAA museum to play your part in the historic decommissioning of the Lynx helicopter from service with the Royal Navy.

On 23 March 2017,
815 Naval Air Squadron of RNAS Yeovilton will for the last time launch a Lynx helicopter that will conduct a flying display over the airfield.

You will be able to view this from the rear of the museum where you will be able to witness her very last flight.

The Lynx has been a world leader in maritime operations for the last 41 years.

It may also still have an analogue cockpit and be oily and battle-scarred;

but for those who have flown, maintained and enjoyed its presence in the skies overhead will no doubt mourn the passing of this hugely-successful all British maritime helicopter.
