Rumour I heard was that 847 was getting the left over AH that we are currently looking to or already have in store! All that previous HMS Ocean work the 656 did not being used has raised a few questions throughout the dark blue and Royal Marine community (especially after Royal really seeing what AH brings to the party out here) - when so many AH are idling in hangars collecting dust and 847 could be losing their Lynx if FLynx falls over it makes sense.
I suppose it is a fair one - if we cannot man or support them, lets put the airframes to good use with an organisation that can. Maybe not fully UOR'd up, but I bet you that 847 would take them anyway, and certainly better than their current Lynx fleet.
