Nooby,

But just the eleven UK SAR aircraft by the sounds of it:

Flight: Leonardo Helicopters could move AW149 production to UK
Although Leonardo Helicopters had hoped the Somerset site would become a centre of excellence for search and rescue (SAR) AW189s, a lack of orders beyond 11 for Bristow Helicopters in the UK has put paid to this in the short term; although [Managing Director of Leonardo Helicopters Daniele] Romiti refuses to rule out some future SAR work, it is entirely dependent on volumes, he says.
