Westland Lynx Mk.8

[carman1877]

I was just looking at the Lynx Mk.8 naval variant and I couldn't find out some things about it. I was wondering if it could carry any troops because I have seen pictures of the inside and it looks small for there to be room for troops? Also I couldn't find anything telling whether or not the naval variant could use the 20mm cannons or Hellfires. If someone could help me out that would be great.

Thanks

P.S. Is the dipping sonar located under the cabin, or between the cabin and tail boom?

Hello there is room in the cabin for 4 personnel not much room for any kit, if the aircraft was to carry any personnel there is a 4 man blow up seat that would be fitted or a rigid steel tube frame seat was canvas seats. The naval variant does not have canons or hellfires, but does carry gpmg or a 50 cal obviously door mounted. I know only the German version has dipping sonar where that is located I don't know, I would guess under the cabin as between the cabin and tail boom are the batterys and other electrical equipment.
