We have bought more Lynx!!! Just faster, better equipped, more versatile, able to 'up-arm’, 365 capability, very versatile C2 capability, better crew survivability, greater RADAR ability, less prescriptive maintenance regime, 'possible' cross arm capability - but yes - it does have a new name to hide all these benefits. It will save hard pressed assets being miss-employed (the CH's love being tasked as convoy escort or on route recce) and allow commanders to have the correct asset in the right place for a longer time.

I guess this is why it seems so hard for the blinkered few to see the big picture, try looking over your oh so petty bias and accept that it is here for a very good reason and if it was pointless, we would have got rid 30+ years ago.

A debate on the pointless upgrade of an older aircraft would be better? But not on this thread!!!!
