A COMMANIDER'S VIEW

摘要

Before talking to personnel from the three Yeovilton-based squadrons charged with developing Wildcat's potential, AIR International gathered the thoughts of one of the most senior officers responsible for the HMA2 (Helicopter Maritime Attack) variant. This is the Commanding Officer of the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) Lynx Wildcat Maritime Force (LWMF), Cdr Louis Wilson-Chalon. He flew ASW Sea Kings aboard HMS Invicible in 1992 before converting to the Lynx HAS3 and later the Lynx HMA8. Following service with Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST) and within the Army Air Corps at Middle Wallop writing battlefield doctrine for the Apache, he returned to 815 Naval Air Squadron as its Commanding Officer in 2010. He became the LWMF Commander in 2014.
