Last British Flying Unit Leaves Germany

摘要

The last British military aircraft based in Germany left for the United Kingdom on October 11 when Westland Lynx AH7 XZ609 of 1 Regiment, Army Air Corps, took off from the Princess Royal Barracks, Gutersloh. The departure marked the end of a continuous presence in the country by British aircraft that began just before the end of World War II. The helicopter attempted to leave Gutersloh with two others a week earlier but was forced to return to base after suffering a technical problem.
