EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Westland Lynx XZ614 X, a Royal Marines Westland Lynx AH.1 helicopter, during the Yeovilton International Air Day on the 12th of July, 1996. With the registration number 161 and belonging to 3 Commando Helicopter Force (3 CBAS), this Lynx helicopter is a prime example of the versatility and capability of this iconic British maritime helicopter. The Lynx, a type of transport and utility helicopter, was developed by Westland Helicopters in the late 1960s and first entered service in 1978. This particular Lynx, XZ614 X, is adorned with the distinctive markings of the Royal Marines, reflecting its role in providing support to the military in various missions, including search and rescue, troop transport, and reconnaissance. The Yeovilton International Air Day, held annually at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton in Somerset, England, showcases a diverse range of aircraft from both the military and civilian sectors. The event provides an opportunity for the public to witness the capabilities of various aircraft, including the Westland Lynx, up close. In this photograph, the Lynx XZ614 X is seen taking off from the runway, its powerful rotors creating a vortex of air that swirls around the helicopter. The image captures the raw power and agility of this remarkable aircraft, as it prepares to take on its next mission. With its distinctive silhouette, the Lynx continues to be a popular choice for military aviation enthusiasts and a testament to the ingenuity of British engineering.
