Westland Lynx AH.Mk1, G-LYNX/ZB500, still holds the Absolute World Speed
 Record, for Rotorcraft, of 400.87 kph (249.10 mph).

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.
