At least something will stay in this country, thank god the MoD didnt buy the UH60, EC725 or AW139 then there would be nothing kept here.
Wasn't there a WS-70 version of the UH-60, licenced to Westland and would have been built in the UK?

Isn't the AW139 an Augusta/Westland design (it might be the AW part that gives it away) and were it chosen could quite possibly have been built in the UK too?

EC725, isn't that an evolution of the Puma design that, I'm sure but I might be wrong, was licence built in the UK by Westlands too?

A sort of recurring theme is appearing, can you spot it (apart from the aircraft you mentioned being too large for the specification)?
