this, an extract from
Armed Action by Lt Cdr James Newton. Not sure where the thread started with this link went............ ?
I believe that 3 Commando Brigade were facing an armoured counter attack in the Al Faw area, and 849 NAS Sea King ASaCs were used to direct TOW attacks by Lynx AH7s from 847. A number of MBTs, APCs and artillery pieces were destroyed. Chinooks and Junglies provided most of the transport. Therefore this key part of the operation depended on carrier (sort of) aviation. Additionally Naval Gunfire Support was provided by HM Ships
Chatham,
Marlborough and
Richmond and HMAS
Anzac, as mentioned
here.
Going back to the Lynx AH7, does having skids instead of wheels cause problems aboard ship?
