An Anglo-French agreement to design and build military helicopters was signed in 1968, and Westland was given design leadership. The requirement was for an armed escort version, an Army utility and a naval helicopter capable of operating from small ships. The latter two proceeded to production; the first prototype flew in March 1971, followed by 13 development aircraft and in 1976, the first production naval Lynx HAS Mk 2 and in 1977, the first production Army Lynx.
