As an ex-RN helo and ex-RAF FJ guy, I have little idea what the Lynx does in the Army, I mean I can see what the Apache does. And the amount of troops and gear that the Chinook (and to lesser extents) Merlin and Sea King is obvious. But having buzzed around in a Naval Lynx I know there ain't room for much.

So can an Army type enlighten me, what do the Lynx guys spend their days doing. Honest, this is not a troll

EDIT: The Army website says: "...a wide variety of roles and tasks. It is predominantly a battlefield utility helicopter..." doesn't specify much!
Although I see it has at least top level important task: "This makes it the centrepiece of Army Aviation display flying."
