Future Lynx
Anyone seen the Lynx IPT roadshow yet?
I hear that it is something of a Westlands sales pitch. Apparently the Lynx IPT favours FLynx in preference to any other options - now there is a surprise! All the recent criticism must have thickened a few skins, so they just don't care about any accusation of bias.
Also an interesting interpretation of the user requirement to carry 8 troops with kit - if they won't fit; you just take 2 aircraft!
Make sure you get a seat when the circus comes to town so that you can ask some meaningful questions - like what will be the AUM, and how do they justify their claim of 7 maint hours per flying hour.
If it is a foregone conclusion that we get FLynx for political reasons then at least be honest about it.
Never believe everything a salesman tells you.
