Thanks for the info, Nick.
The EH-101 entered service into RN on 1 Dec 1998. A-W consortium formed sometime around 1981, but not sure when EH-101 work was started.

In any case, your timelines for EH-101 get reduced slightly.
I'm curious as to how S92 is so much faster. Are you that good? Was it less work due to similiar helicopters as a model? Is it because only one company is building them?
One more thing, did you receive an email from me recently?
