Summary

Description
English: Lynx door gunner from 29 Flight providing supporting fire to 1 Yorkshire Regiment Battle group during live firing Exercise Pizzaro.

A company level live firing attack part of Ex Prairie Storm 3 in British Army Training Area Suffield (BATUS), Alberta Canada.

An Army Air Corps Door Gunner on board a Lynx Mk9A helicopter from 29 Flight, pictured firing a Heavy Machine Gun (HMG).

Mk 9A variant of the Lynx helicopter, which has a more powerful engine than the MK7 predecessor. The new engine allows the helicopter to fly faster, carry more weight and fly in hotter conditions (the Mk 7 was unable to fly in the day time during the Afghan summer).

Because the Mk 9A can carry more weight it can carry more firepower in the form of a 50 cal Heavy Machine Gun (HMG) rather than the 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) that the Mk 7 carried, this makes the Mk9A more effective at engaging targets on the ground.
