The image captures the moment of the helicopter's flight, as it hovers above the ground, ready to showcase its capabilities to the assembled military personnel and dignitaries. The helicopter's distinctive twin-engine design and distinctive shrouded main rotor blades are clearly visible, as is the array of sensors and equipment mounted on its exterior.

Its versatility, agility, and advanced technology made it a valuable asset in a range of military operations, from search and rescue to reconnaissance and combat support. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of military aviation during the early 1980s. The Westland 30-100 G-BGHF may be just a memory now, but its legacy lives on in the many Lynx helicopters that continue to serve in the armed forces of various nations around the world.
