I wonder how many Scouts would have lasted that long had they not been replaced by the Lynx.
Chatting to 656 Sqdn at Farnborough (previously 664 Sqdn) before their enforced move to Netheravon, they told me that with a Scout, you could get squaddies leaping in and out all day with no problem whereas with a Gazelle, it was too easy to put your foot through the floor doing that.
