<p>South African designed and manufactured components for AgustaWestland Super Lynx 300 helicopters continue to exceed expectations.</p>
<p>Performance has been so good that AgustaWestland has offered the equipment to the rest of its customers for future new-build aircraft and upgrades of existing aircraft.</p>
<p>These South African components were promoted and incorporated on the Super Lynx 300 as part of AgustaWestland’s defence industrial participation (Dip) programme – the South African National Defence Force has bought four Super Lynx 300s, to be operated from the country’s new ‘Valour’-class (or Meko A200SAN) patrol frigates.</p>
