Wasn't HMS Argyll's Lynx involved in Operation Barras, the rescue of the RIR troops taken hostage in Sierra Leone?
The answer is yes, according to the book Operation Certain Death - I cannot remember the name of the author. He also states that Argyll's flight deck was used to launch the two Army Lynx AH7s.
