More Junglies to Herrick?

PM's statement to the House on Afghanistan contained the phrase "Sea Kings to Afghanistan".

Did I hear correctly?

Edited the thread title. The RN website does not mention 846 on Herrick.

Thanks JunglyAEO - in fact he said "We will combine this with increasing the number of Sea King helicopters in Afghanistan" (source (http://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/Page14050.asp) No. 10 website)- which could mean anything from one more airframe upwards.

What is the reality?

I am a bit mutt and jeff - must be all that noisy stuff I did back in my youth :cool:

so are the SK leaving Iraq? If so, when? Rather depressed to see Ark on excercise last month with only 4 aboard .

They're welcome to the one that's been buzzing around over Cleethorpes all day.

Seriously bored of going into the garden every time it goes over :ok:

Ark I think is off up (very) North in Jan with some Junglies on board.
