"The attached site has some wonderful closeup pictures of rotorheads. Three of them are of the Westland Lynx, which this thread is discussing".

I logged onto the suggested website and yes the pictures are fantastic. While perusing the site I clicked on the BO-105 PAH rotorhead and found a slight problem. The lower end of the fixed link that connects the longitudinal control lever to the non-rotating swashplate has a cracked uniball bearing. Hopefully it was eventually replaced before anything bad happened. So much for the German Army mechanics.
