Puma Serials

Dundiggin, et al

If you mean which are the Pumas written off since entering service they are: XW200, 203, 205, 211, 218, 221, 225, 227, 228, 230, 233, 234, ZA934, 938 and 941.

The caveat here is that some have been stuck together and brought back into service and several others, which were originally categorised as write-offs, have been re-examined and are to be returned to service or might be used to prime the Mark II production/update line. It follows that this list needs to be treated with caution. Certainly a couple of the Iraq losses are apparently to be repaired.
