Notes:

1. This month sees the first withdrawal of an AAC Agusta 109 following the introduction of the Dauphins.

2. Recent modifications to the Lynx fleet came to light during the Yeovilton show in early July and these are shown with the listing of Lynx HMA8SRU machines. In addition, 815 NAS helicopters were marked with ‘A Section’ and ‘B Section’ on the nose. This month also sees the reallocation of the final former 815 NAS OEU Lynx.
