I think upgrades of the existing Chinook fleet are being considered. However, if the UK ordered new CH-47F models, then it is more likely they would be built in Italy given that AgustaWestland will be putting a production line in place over there for a recent order by the Italian Army. AgustaWestland (Italy) has an agreement with Boeing to sell the F model to the UK if it wants it.
