Just a point on the YA-9A. The actual aircraft differs somewhat from the drawing. See photo of prototype YA-9 below. Note the broader stubbier tail, as well as the tailplane surface being canted upwards. Also rearward protuberances on the wings.

oncemorealoft. It is no trap it is indeed a Westland Lynx AH Mk1. From a photograph I took of a Lynx from 654 Sqn AAC landing as the winter sun was setting in Detmold Germany 1978.

Great! Open House please as I've no access to suitable pictures.
I thought it was too easy but it was a good excuse to show a nice atmospheric picture. I feel quite proud actually because as far as I'm concerned there are only five real helicopters: Wessex, Whirlwind, Sioux, Huey and that new fangled Jet Ranger
. All the others look the same apart from those funny Russian things which don't count anyway 'cos they're just too ugly.
