How about a purchase of UH60's to replace the Army Lynx fleet and RAF Puma fleet

A feasibility study/trial was carried out in the eighties (involved JATE, as it was then); we, in the SH Force, were all willing it to happen but the wise money was on EHI 01 - now there's an aircraft that was designed to be the ultimate utility helicopter. Very, very political at the time - as I'm sure Super Lynx etc is - guess which stable the Puma replacement will come from?
