Jacko - that's the whole point - the AAC has continued the myth that they really do limited movement of men and materiel around the battlefield - the Mk9 Lynx was christened the Soup Dragon as that was all it ever delivered and it never went near the battlefield proper.
As I said before, if you peel back the veneer, you find that the AAC has only ever been about anti-tank and obs and recce and now they have one aircraft that does it all brilliantly they don't need Lynx. The answer is more SH but then the battle for power begins and the AAC recognises its vulnerability especially as now everyone is in JHC and so many command/staff posts are held by AAC officers. If the AAC is drawn down to just AH 64 then there is no need for all those staff officers and the AAC grip on JHC power disappears followed shortly by the AAC itself.
If one can break through the party politics it is clear that the AAC has been struggling to justify its existence for many years but could claim superiority in numbers of helicopters over both the RAF and the FAA. The Gazelles are gone or going and the Lynx is hardly serviceable and has no hot or high performance( its anti tank performance was shaky 10 years ago). Unless they get FLynx and perpetuate the pseudo SH capability myth they have 2 Regts of AH and that is it (yes I am ignoring Belize and Brunei - anyone going to put FLynx there?)
