Hey, I'm not bashing the Merlin. Your'e correct the Merlin is a world beater. The best ASW helicopter in the world without doubt and so much so that the second best ASW helicopter isn't even in the same room. Nope, the Merlin is brill. What is not brill however, is the support for Merlin. No spares, No money and No future. Thats why we are going to be forced to mothball the best part of 30 aircraft so that we can support the remainder.
