They came back the following day but overnight the Para's had been through it souvenir hunting together with the perfectly serviceable Super Puma and trashed them both. Engineers just robbed some bits off it. I think the hulks came back to the UK

The Puma was flying the RAF having been rebuilt, but is no longer, as is the Chinook, or at least its arse end is/ was.
