Is it known which 2 Lynxes are on the dump? Some images that may help with identifying them:




As this was a Sunday no active aircraft were seen.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Koen,
The Euro Demobbed website might give a possibility for one of those.

W&R 29th says XZ672 Lynx AH7 and ZD265 Lynx HMA8SRU though from info supplied Nov 2022...

Thanks for the suggestions. I did look at Eurodemobbed but there were more options on there than Lynxes on the dump so I thought I would check here if their identities are known.

From the ones listed as dumped on Eurodemobbed the first one should be XZ212 as that's listed as 'X' and 'K' on Eurodemobbed. There is a K visible on the door throught the grass if you look closely, I missed that at first.
Comparing pics, I'm certain the 2nd one is XZ672 indeed.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Cheers,

Koen

Where exactly can you see the dump from? TIA

There is a 3rd Lynx AH7 on the bomb dump. It is on it's side and impossible to see from off airfield

Where is the bomb dump in relation to the fire dump? I can see an area just to the NE of the fire dump that looks like a likely candidate, but that's also labelled as a clay shooting club, so I assume NOT a bomb dump as I imagine the 2 don't go very well together!

"Former" bomb dump might be a better name for it.
