Dutch Navy Lynx on its way back from Tripoli to the NLs

Post by Sven van Roij »

Lynx in Libië op transport27 februari 2012, 16.03 uurDe gehavende Lynx-helikopter staat op een dieplader voor transport naar Tripoli. Foto: Ministerie van DefensieDe Lynx-helikopter die sinds vorig jaar op het strand van de Libische kustplaats Sirte stond, is vandaag overgebracht naar de hoofdstad Tripoli. De helikopter wordt daar klaargemaakt voor civiel zeetransport naar Nederland.De Lynx is niet meer vliegwaardig. Het toestel wordt ontmanteld en verschroot. Het terughalen van de helikopter gebeurt met hulp van de Libische autoriteiten.


De helikopter werd op 27 februari 2011 aan de grond gehouden tijdens een evacuatiepoging vanaf het fregat Hr.Ms. Tromp. Een militaire eenheid van het regime van kolonel Khadaffi hield het toestel aan de grond en nam de 3 bemanningsleden gevangen. De Nederlanders werden op 11 maart 2011 vrijgelaten.

Quick translation:

Lynx in Libya on transport

The battered Lynx helicopter is loaded on a flatbed trailer for transport to Tripoli. The helicopter, which stood on the beach of the Libyan coastal city Sirte since last year, is now transferred to the capital Tripoli. The helicopter will be transfered from there by a civilian maritime transport to the Netherlands. The Lynx is no longer airworthy, and will be dismantled and scrapped. The retrieval of the Lynx is aided by the Libyan authorities.

According to http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=82691 there are several "significant" people sympathetic to the idea of putting Lynx 277 in a Dutch museum...
Whether 277 will actually survive remains to be seen though...

and

its absolutely Ridiculous to spend that kind of money to get it back and scrap it. typical the netherlands. everything according to the book and lets spend a ton of money. Put it on one of the vessels and that will cover the trip home. I am pretty sure a museum will come and pick it up. My 5 cents.

Sending over a vessel just to pick it up won't make the operation cheaper.

If MODNL and/or the NL Government are that eager as to recover the stranded Lynx and transport it by the cheapest way back to NL, there have been opportunities.
The first was o/b HNLMS Zuiderkruis which returned from the HOA last december.
At present there is HNLMS de Ruyter (flagship SNMG1) which is operating in the vicinity of Crete.

I agree with Patrick, sending a vessel is much more expensive than 21.000 euro, even if the ship is in local waters.
Putting the helo in a museum will cost money. Cannibalizing the remains will produce more than 21.000 euro and the
recycling of metals will also do some good.
21.000 euro is not that bad.
The question;"Who spilled the information that put the lives of the crew at risk?", is much more interesting.

Anyone happen to know with which ship Lynx 277 was/is being transported back to Holland :?:
It's been over three weeks now when she was last "publicly" photographed... :idea:

As http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?p=565369#p565369 shows Lynx 277 is probably still in Tripoli...
