Merlins to assume the role of the 33 Sqn Puma before Apr 03! What is that role - not being able to carry a pinky!
I know that in the relative scheme of things the death banana brethren banter the plastic pusuit ship drivers about it's minimal capability, but at least they recognise that it has an operational capability!
The 'operational' Merlins will be lucky to assume the role of a screaming chicken leg by Apr 03!
Merlins are always good conversation starters at airshows - 'Why didn't we buy more Chinooks instead!'
Percy (when is the next Merlin OCU slot?)
