XZ692 / XZ722 (cn 121) A pair of Lynx helicopters from the Royal Navy “Black Cats” display team perform with precision. A very impressive performance! The dome of an Agusta/Westland Apache AH1 is seen at the bottom of the photo. The Apache didn’t participate due to a sudden crew-member illness. (cn 121 & 177)

XZ722 / 645 (cn 177) Although totally unplanned, my son and I were able to make the Duxford 2012 Autumn Airshow on Sunday October 14th, which was the final air show in England for the year. The Royal Navy’s “Black Cats” Helicopter Display Team (based at the Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton in Somerset) was the highlight of the show. The team flies the Lynx Maritime Attack helicopter. This was their last performance using the Lynx. They will transition into the new Agusta/Westland “Wildcat” helicopter. This was the best helicopter demonstration I have ever seen. Here, the Lynx 645 is about to lift off for the final “Black Cat” performance.
