I am being told the reason why the UK does not want anything bigger than a Puma is that when they crash they only loose a few soldiers compared to the number they would loose in a Blackhawk or Mi-26.

Sounds a bit far fetched if you ask me but sadly a great deal is down to politics.

Considering how cheap Sikorsky offered the Blackhawk recently in replacement to the ageing Pumas.
