Story has it that the army changed the criteria for lift capability which excluded the UH60 from being the Wessex/Puma replacement.
Why:
Because the AAC wanted AH and someone realised that a UH60 could easily be converted to a gunship/AH and they would lose the justification.
Result: Long delay in Wessex and Puma replacement.
All rumour of course!!
