Totti,
Think it was the other way round. We bought 6 Merlins of the Danes in an attempt to respond to the "lack of helicopters" criticism in Afghanistan. We bought the Danes 6 replacement aircraft.
Airsound,
The Merlin is an underpowered / undertransmissioned beast - a circa 11000kg empty aircraft with a max TOW of just 15600kg. At high weights and low airspeed it can be poorly placed…..
None of which detracts from the fact that the lad done good….
