Is it true...

That the US Government is actually buying a Britsih designed and built helicopter to replace the S61s in the presidential fleet? A derivation of the EH101 so I'm told.
Amazing if it's true; remember the fuss from Sikorsky and Bell when the USCG bought Dauphins?
Bet someone in the US gets their representative to object about it.
