I think you will find the aircraft that are going to be supllied from the Danes are the SAR aircraft already in country . They are going to be flown back and stripped of all Danish equipment and refitted to whatever the RAF ask . All this by May of next year
whilst still trying to achive VH-71 contract.The Merlins in Denamark need a lot of change orders done to them whereas the aircraft at Yeovil are pretty well uptogether , the Danes aint silly on this one. Also I think they made a lot of money on this sale back to the UK . Providing the rumours are true
