Noted a couple of aircraft not seen here before.

Lynx Mk9 ZE375 and Defence Helicopter Flying School Squirle ZJ261.

Is that classed as a battlefield lynx thought I seen something somewhere with that tricycle landing gear and exhaust deflection

I would have thought so as they are mainly used in Afganistan.

I saw the Sqirrel today-12th, on the static line of what could be called a feast of aircraft of a bygone age.
monoplanes,biplanes, triplanes and helicopters of varying sorts.
Treated to dog fight between 8 of them for 15 mins.
All for free including the museum.
On a tour round I came upon it by chance. Another lucky day for me.
Alist of exmilitaries may appear soon.

You were very lucky as the event was not advertised very well which is typical of anything centered around the museum of Army Flying. Living locally I did not even know it was on. It was the centenary of the RFC.
