A pair of Royal Navy Agusta Westland Wildcat helicopters, perform a 'maritime role demonstration' during the RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2017.
The helicopters are both Wildcat HMA Mk.2's and carry serial numbers ZZ379 and ZZ396 respectively.
Replacing the Lynx Mk8, the Wildcat has a more powerful engine allowing it to be flown in extreme conditions all year round. It is also equipped with a more robust fuselage, a high tech interactive display and a new radar system that provides 360-degree surveillance. The Wildcat Maritime Attack Helicopter can carry Sting Ray torpedoes, a door-mounted 0.5" heavy machine gun, and new light and heavy variants of the Future Anti-Surface Guided Weapon Missiles.
The Wildcat HMA Mk2 is used for anti-surface warfare, force protection and counter-piracy and can carry out an anti-submarine role. As a ship-borne helicopter, Wildcat provides commanders with a flexible attack capability which can be deployed to tackle a range of threats at sea and from the sea. With state of the art sensors, equipment and weapons, it is an outstanding asset that will maintain Royal Naval units at the cutting edge of worldwide maritime operations.
The UK ordered 34 Wildcats for the British Army and 28 for the Royal Navy. The Army Air Corps formed the Wildcat Fielding Team (Army), which later became 652 (Operational Conversion) Squadron, for trials and operational conversion of Joint Helicopter Command aircrew and ground crew to the type. The Royal Navy also commissioned a Wildcat Fielding Squadron, 700W Naval Air Squadron (700W NAS) in 2009. Both units were located at RNAS Yeovilton. In February 2012, a prototype Wildcat (ZZ402) conducted 20 days of trials aboard HMS Iron Duke off the coasts of England and Scotland; the tests involved operating under challenging weather conditions to define ship-helicopter operating limits for when the type enters service in 2015. During the trials, a total of 390 deck landings were completed including 148 night landings, 76 of which being conducted by pilots using night vision goggles.
The first production Wildcat was received in May 2012 by the WFT (Army); ZZ406. The Royal Navy received their first airframe at the end of 2013. Further trials of the type were conducted, such as deck landings aboard RFA Mounts Bay. In July 2012, the Wildcat conducted its first public display at the Farnborough Airshow. At the event, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond stated that the "Wildcat represents a considerable advance over the current Lynx helicopters, bringing greatly improved performance and capability."
On 29 August 2014, the Wildcat AH1 formally entered service with the Army Air Corps. On 23 March 2015, the Royal Navy's first Wildcat HMA2 began its initial operational deployment at sea on board HMS Lancaster. In September 2015, a Wildcat HMA.2 of 825 Naval Air Squadron was deployed aboard HMS Duncan in the Persian Gulf to perform extreme high temperature trials.
On 4 July 2019, Royal Marines from 42 Commando unit used a Wildcat to board and detain the Grace 1 oil tanker off Gibraltar.

Yes, basically a heavily upgraded and redesigned Lynx, so much so that it is really a completely new helicopter based on the original Lynx design with only 5% of parts being interchangeable between the two. All Lynx Helicopters were retired from the Royal Navy earlier this year, but for the time being they continue to soldier on with the British Army Air Corps.

I know the Westland Lynx is aerobatic, but is the AW159?

I'm guessing here, but as the Wildcat is an improved version of the Super Lynx and the Lynx series and Wildcat have a semi rigid rotor design, that the answer is 'Yes'.
