UK military used to train on pistons - Bell 47G.4As, and Hiller 12Bs and Es before that. Those dusky blue aircraft at Wallop with the dayglo corners. Sure some ppruners must have first solo'd on them

So, what made the UK military change from them to Gazelles?

Are pistons any more reliable now than 30 years ago?
