Argentine Navy | Del'd: 2 - 1978 to 1985
|
| History of this Model in this Organisation: | | |
Requested as early as 1972 to be used from both Type 42 destroyers in service with the Argentine Navy, the first and only two Sea Lynx were delivered in 1978 and were similar to the Royal Navy HAS.2 type. They were extensively used during the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas War until mechanical failures grounded both airframes. The additional eight Lynx Mk87 already bought were not completed or embargoed after the war |
