Must be a relief for that 4000 to come in of a morning and find shiny new helos
what shiny new helo's? Will that be the four that South Africa have ordered? The four that haven't even had the metal cut yet? So, that 4000 workers and 4 "shiny new helicopters"...hmmmm no wonder there were job cuts !
As for the Lynx. I think you will find that the Lynx is due to be phased out STARTING from 2008. With over 60 airframes, the first one reaches lifex in 2008 and the remainder will go on for sometime...well beyond 2015. Still, that is no excuse for not starting the process to procure NH90...NOW!
