Question

It would be interesting to see if the cause of the loss of the Navy Lynx was the same as what caused the Army Lynx to crash. Namely an uncontained engine breakdown. If so then the Technical inspectin is a welcome thing that might bring forward the 'update/replacement' to the Lynx.

I flew Lynx during the tail rotor drive shaft and the MRH problems and they just keep coming.

It has always been a sad fact of life that we must lose colleagues and friends in order to push the penny pinchers to get these things moving. The loss of Graftons Lynx led to the fitting of RAD ALT audio warners, my case rests.
However, until the replacement of the Lynx, it will remain the most capable multirole helo in the fleet and therefore will continue flying.

Fly vorsichtig!!!
