RAF Support helicopter force air to air combat ref Air Warfare Centre

I seem to recall in the 1998 RAF Benevolent Fund Yearbook, there was an article about the Support Helicopter Force and the Air Warfare Center had a course on helicopter warfare tactics including air to air.

I recall there was a major practical to the course culminating in an exercise with Pumas, Chinooks, Wessex and Sea Kings versus 10O Sqn Hawk T.1 as aggressors. It was all about teaching a little of ACM and evasive tactics and gunnery.

The course leaders invited members of the 21st SOS from Mildenhall along for the get together.

What is the actual name of the helicopter warfare course held by the AWC and what does it entail?
