Lynx's on the dump
Could anyone help with the serials of the 8 Army Lynx's and the Gazelle? that are stored or dumped outside
along the A343 just after the museum when heading towards Andover.

Re: Lynx's on the dump
Hi Glenn,
Demobbed lists 10 Lynx's (9 of which are listed as dumped - the other in special marks)- that might be a good starting point if you can narrow them down from there ? Shows them as MPSU ...
It also shows more than 1 Gazelle

Re: Lynx's on the dump
Beware that although the Eurodemobbed site is useful it is only as recent as the last report, quite honestly the best thing is to walk the fence.
Re: Lynx's on the dump
Easy to ID too. Park in the museum and walk up on the base-side towards the main gate, as you look back they'll all come in to view.

Re: Lynx's on the dump
I guess if anybody has the info they could send updates to demobbed via the website ?

Re: Lynx's on the dump
David ...just revisiting this (sorry!) Glenn's original query referred to 8 Lynx's and 1 Gazelle in that particular location....presumably he has miscounted the Lynx's or one is unidentifiable? Where are the other Gazelle's located please?David Thompson wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 11:14 pmI did as noted on the 19 June ;CHESTER_DRAWERS wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 2:49 pmI guess if anybody has the info they could send updates to demobbed via the website ?

The roadside hedge has been cut, ahead of today’s family day, meaning that these ex rtp ‘frames are now much easier to see.

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.
Re: Lynx's on the dump
All,
for the record, seen on a quick walk along the main road on 23/09/19 were the following still extant outside the hangar:-
Lynx: ZG885, ZF537, ZE380, ZG921
Gazelle; XX447, XX378
Plus a heli that looked like XZ.03 which I am assuming is Gazelle XZ303.
There were others not read off.
Regards
Brian
