I belive they left this morning.One of them put on quite a display yesterday with some Aircorps pilots on board. I didnt get to talk to the crew but one of them had a black Lynx on the side, is this one of the "Black Cats" display team??

No they dont carry any insignia at all on the Lynx AC it's just their name thats all.

I don't think so Fouga....... http://www.irishairpics.com/database/photo/1008701/

Seems I was wrong about them leaving!! They were in the hanger this morning?? They must have flew a sortie here yesterday!! I seen this done only once before with British army Wessex's. The jetstream popped back in again for about an hour, must have been bringing home the X-mas shopping.
N.B: They came here via RAF Valley on Tuesday as a source has told me they stopped off for there for fuel.

Frank i was referring to the fact that they dont have any "Black Cats" insignia .

[Frank]

What do you mean? the second heli in the picture above has a black cat on the cabin door.

[Fouga]

Yes but the Black Cats dont have any insignia stating they are the black cats just regular Lynx Heli's and all the RN insignia, they are merely weekend pilots who do the displays and training on the weekends with their spare time..
