G-LYNX was fitted with a WG-30 tailplane for
the World Speed Record bid but this was removed subsequently. On 13th
October 2007 G-LYNX/ZB500 travelled back to Yeovil to be restored, by
apprentices. to its
record-breaking configuration and colour scheme. On completion of this
work the machine will return to The Helicopter Museum for static public
display, probably in early 2009. |
