yes i know the westland lynx's were phased out in favour of the aw101 and the nh90 but i thought they were for the navy/coastguard not the army which i assume who operates the 412's

From what I can gather the NH90 replaced the Lynx in Coast Guard and Air Force service, and the AW101 is replacing Air Force Sea Kings. Bell 412 SPs used by the Norwegian Home Guard, His Majesty the King's Guard and the Norwegian Army actually belong to the Norwegian Air Force.

Neither the Norwegian Navy (Coast Guard aside) or Army operate helicopters, but both can requisition helicopters if needed.

It's a strange organizational structure, but it helps ensure a high level of cooperation between the services which is something even professional forces like the USN, USAF and US Army have had issues with.
