Fallout Re: British Lynx

This taken from the below ref., sounds like it's the LYNX 10 in the game but, designated as the AW 159 in this ref.

"AW159 Future Lynx helicopter

In March 2005, the UK Ministry of Defense selected a version of Super Lynx 300, known as Future Lynx, as the preferred option to replace the UK Army’s Mk 7 and Mk 9 Lynx helicopters and Royal Navy Lynx HAS.3 and HMA.8. helicopters. A contract for 70 (plus ten options) Future Lynx helicopters was awarded in June 2006, 40 for the Army and 30 for the Navy. First of the Future Lynx, also known as AW159 Lynx, was completed in November 2009, initial deliveries were in 2011 and the helicopter will enter into service in 2014 with the British Army and 2015 with the Royal Navy."
