Helicopters
Serious questions, sorry to be so dull.
During my time, 60s/70's, N Ireland/Hong Kong/BAOR, almost the entire role for the RAF helicopters squadrons was carrying the Army.
Is that still so?
If not, what percentage (ish) of its effort is spent other than moving the Army?
What does that other role consist of?
Would operational efficiency of the Armed Force in Iraq/Afghanistan/anywhere be improved if the RAF helicopter squadrons were transferred to the AAC?
