HMS Richmond’s Lynx aircraft is a Mark 8 maritime attack helicopter, which has been specially modified to operate in excessive temperatures.
Along with her fellow flights embarked in HMS Chatham and Marlborough, Richmond's Lynx worked closely with American and Australian helicopters in the confined waters of the Khawr Abd Allah waterway which is the main access to the Iraqi seaport.
Her Lynx crew has now returned to normal manning levels and as temperatures continue to rise and the number of helicopter assets reduce greater pressures are placed on her to provide the important aviation capability.
