| | The Westland Scout, Wasp, & Lynx |
 | | As it emerged, the Lynx had little or no relationships to the Scout; in fact, it had a certain general resemblance to the US Bell UH-1 Huey and could be confused for one by an observer with a limited familiarity with helicopters. |
 | | Westland did consider a new TOW carriage arrangement, optional T800 engines, and a wide range of other enhancements for the AH.9 as the "Battlefield Lynx" for the export market, but nobody bought off on the idea. |
 | | The Westland 30 civil transport helicopter derivative of the Lynx had been anticipated to an extent by an earlier concept, the Westland "Model 606", which was a Lynx with a fuselage stretch to accommodate up to 13 passengers, and uprated engines to handle the greater takeoff weight. |
