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.

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.

Brian
