Photographed before being upgraded to AH7 standard, this Lynx was part of the Blue Eagles display at Duxford during Helifest '91. She made her first flight on the 16th July 1980 and was delivered to the Army Air Corps on the 4th August that same year. You can easily tell the difference between the AH1 and AH7 Lynx as the Mk 1s have the standard rotor blades without the angled BERP (British Experimental Rotor Programme) tips.
