I see that Ocean's Sea Kings and Lynx are getting a mention at last:

Commander United Kingdom Task Group Takes Command Of Libya Maritime Strike Operations From HMS Ocean

Although it is HMS Ocean’s Apache attack helicopters from 656 Squadron Army Air Corps who have had much of the press following their strike missions into Libya, they have been ably assisted by Sea King Mk 7s of 857 Naval Air Squadron providing airborne surveillance and Lynx Mk 7s of 847 Naval Air Squadron providing force protection, all of which are also embarked in HMS Ocean.

Back (strictly) on topic - what state were the Harriers in prior to the SDSR axe/storage?
