TF, this was the first question I asked. After all, the upgrade to Puma 2 included modern engines and cockpit. I think the date is key here. By 2025 there’s precious little work at Yeovil forecast; Wildcat/Merlin support will endure, but Apache will end - transferred to E model and Boeing. My guess is that Puma has to go to justify chucking £1Bn at the factory. Personally, I agree with a sentiment I heard last week - scrap NMH and use the money to buy more Wildcat and Chinook, keeping Yeovil and the military happy, and COMO the ‘odds and sods’. The urban argument, whilst valid, is not as is often made out. If you have to keep NMH, lease 15-20 for 15 years and see how FVL goes and if NGRC amounts to anything tangible.
