THREAD DRIFT (apologies)
Can I please ask a quick question.
What was it about the WG30 that was not up to scratch?
I know virtually nothing about the proposed WG30 (other than the airframes littering the helicopter museum at Weston Super Mare), but can only assume that Westlands thought it would be the way ahead, and a possible Puma replacement.
Once again, sorry for thread drift, but the WG30 looked like it would have solved many of the lynx's shortcomings, assuming it had enough power/ceiling/lift etc.
