Bluh is dead. Its just a lynx with a few bits added on and no extra range or endurance. The gap between the asking price and what the MOD will pay is too large. Nobody wants it, however thats not Westlands fault, as nobody at the MOD had even considered procuring a replacement for lynx until Westlands put Bluh forward. Because Bluh is dead, Scummer will also die because the numbers without Bluh are not economical. The army will get Blackhawk, which Westlands used to have a license to build, and 847 will lose its lynx and upgrade its gazelles with a squirrel rotor head and hot missiles and Gray lynx will go I favour of either super lynx, seahawk(ok, I'm dreaming) or more Merlin.

Or possibly they will just shut down the Military and have done with it.
