Ouch, I wonder if I should tell my dad about this or just let him find out on his own :-X ;D

Edit: He apparently knows and according to him, when he was working on this, they were actually planning 90 airframes, and an inservice date of 2010.
Good old MOD estimates and dealings :D

Its really only going to be a fresh coat of paint for the Mk 9's, the first pilots will think they have a glass cockpit, until they realise its just shiny stickers, and all they have for instruments are their eyes, and clear plastic windscreens.

But hey, the Lynx is my personal favourate helo so if thats what keeps it in the air, i'm happy for my tax pennies to be spent on it:)
