Lynx Farewell Tour

[Skymaster]

My original assumption might be correct, then.

Inbound to London, following the M3, then East on H3, H4 to Isle of Dogs, then West via H4, H10 to Northolt, but then North on H9 and beyond?.

[CHINOOKER]

Yes,still along the Thames westbound!....what I heard is that they will route from Isle of Dogs westbound along Thames,towards Perivale and Northolt,whereby they will dogleg north to Northwood,then from there,return back towards Iver to pick up westbound heli lanes again.....info apparently from Northolt ATC,via "guy on the fence"yesterday!!!

[Skymaster]

From Iver, they could go West on H10, or South on H2 and cross Heathrow, then H9, H3 West.

Ok thanks, bit in a fix now of where to see them
Could try Northala Fields by Northolt or on a bridge over the M3................hmm

5 Lynx just gone over Blackfriars Bridge westbound

[Skymaster]

Must have gone up A3?

Hope they come back H3...

[ROB MkIX]

The 4 Lynx were joined by a Wildcat when they departed from Odiham.

[Skymaster]

I don't know which way they went, but I managed to miss them, somehow.

[paullangford]

Well.............they came nowhere near Perivale, Northolt, Northwood or Iver.............so a complete waste of an afternoon for us

Not your fault CHINOOKER, I should have trusted my instinct, ...........hey ho, win some lose some

[MRTT]

From what I've seen on social media, doesn't look like you're the only one disappointed.

[MRTT]

It'll be sad to see the Lynx go, done a lot for the Navy, farewell!

[Skymaster]

Of course, if they'd had just one transponder switched on, it would have been different.
