As noted, this is old news now and just like Flynx there’s no going back.
My guess is you’d be hard pushed to find anyone in the MoD who thinks Puma LEP is money well spent. ‘Spend a little to save a lot’ I suspect and having spent £300m+ on this upgrade, I don’t see the Puma fleet being retired in 2022 after only 8 to 10-years of post LEP service. More like 2027 at which point hopefully even the Government will agree that these 56-year old platforms should finally be put out to pasture.
A narrow footprint, high C of G and a tricycle undercarriage with a nose wheel will no doubt add to the thrill of putting down in brown-out conditions on uneven terrain...... Well done Bob.
