Westland Lynx

The Westland Lynx is a British helicopter designed by Westland and built at Westland's factory in Yeovil. Originally intended as a utility craft for both civil and naval usage, military interest led to the development of both battlefield and naval variants, which went into operational usage in 1977 and were later adopted by the armed forces of over a dozen nations, where it primarily serves in the battlefield utility, search and rescue and anti-submarine warfare rôles. The helicopter is now produced and marketed by AgustaWestland.
