Just a few Questions...
How many helicopters are the 70 Future Lynx replacing overall? Is it the same situation like FSTA where less aircraft are procured to replace an existing numerical superior amount?

Also what other airframes did the MoD look at other than Future Lynx for contenders or was it Future Lynx from the start?

I see the USAF have bought the EC-635/EC-135 along with other European Countries to provide training, light utility/reconnaissance and light battlefield attack capability to replace the older Kiowa and Gazelles.
Which contenders have the MoD looked at in replacing the many Gazelles which are being mothballed now? Or is this the job of existing Lynx AH7s?
