Only 111 Cat 1s? Bloody well done I say. I recall 53 on one comms LRU alone in Merlin/Lynx/Sea King in about 1984. (Yes, Merlin comms system design was complete then). Funding turned down and they just sit on record should anything happen. It was fixed in 1994 on ASaC Mk7, mainly due to role, but not retrospectively to those older designs.

Edit: Should just add those 53 were not caused by the manufacturer, but by the Home Office changing the spec.
