I loved flying the Lynx but, apart from being the best anti tank version of an anti submarine helicopter ever made, the fleet is old and tired, the design is old, it's expensive and, in case no one else has noticed, it just can't do what's being asked of it any more - for the same reasons the Wessex isn't being deployed to Afghanistan!!!!!
