Upgraded Pumas for the Falklands??
Due to the SARH contract now not involving the Falklands, I understand that the upgraded Puma is being touted as the most suitable replacement platform for the ageing Seaking down south. The combination of upgraded engine and transmission, giving it a higher lift capability (in a temperate climate) at sea level has led to it being identified at this early stage. This combined with the perceived current lack of role should ensure the continuation of this RAF stalwart for many years. Also, its ease of transport by C-17 (in theory at least) should ensure a smooth change over.
