Doesn't surprise me at all. An RN Lynx did a visit to a school in NI, all good PR etc with a distinctly grey helicopter with ROYAL NAVY in big letters on the side. Reported (and subsequently complained about) as Army Recruiting poisoning the minds of young children! It seems that many of the UK public see 'the military' as actually 'the Army'. Happened during Op Fresco where everyone in CS95 was 'a soldier' irrespective of the actual Service involved.

(Anyway the Chinook IS a JHC and hence Land asset )
