Helicopters Photos Tracking
Westland had won a competition for a ship-based anti-submarine, anti-surface vessel and maritime patrol helicopter against the Kaman SH-2 Seasprite and orders for 5 were placed in late 1989. First two Super Lynx Mk.95s were handed over to the recently reconstituted Portuguese Aviação Naval in Jun 1993.
All five helicopters will undergo engine and avionics upgrades at Yeovil, UK between 2019-2021. First delivery scheduled for September 2020 but postponed to January 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic
