You speak with such obvious authority that I can't resist asking:
"Would the AW149 (which I understand to be a militarised AW139 in essence) be a better bet for the AAC?"
If that's a stupid question, I'm sorry. But please humour me!
And (right or wrong) surely in the UK context, for the Corps, Light Utility means anything that requires a small, light helicopter. A single Milan team, a few AH reloads, a small squad of soldiers or a dog team - all of the kind of things that a Lynx could do, but way less than a Puma load.
Pre-Lynx, remember, the AAC was in Scouts and Beavers!
