This restored Westland Lynx AH.7, formerly used by the British Army, made its debut on the U.K. air show circuit at the Shuttleworth Collection air and auto museum. The Lynx airframes were retired in 2015. This aircraft is now in private ownership. It has been restored to flying condition by Project Lynx XZ179 (www.projectlynx.co.uk).
