Sorry we got off the thread of the obsolete grey aircraft and started talking about the obsolete green ones.
My point is that a Chinook sized aircraft ought to be doing better than a Puma !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3.5 hours fuel and it can only lift 10 men - Jesus Christ, that's hardly impressive for 3 engines and millions of pounds.
Puma OSD? Will you take bets on 6 years?
