Remember those 4 ex-Navy Mk5s - earmarked for 84 Sqn - that couldn’t possibly be ready to meet the Wessex OSD of April 03. Didn't 84 Sqn desperately want those? And weren’t they discounted as unavailable before ‘best VFM’ was really examined?
Guess what? I understand that the JHC successfully poached them. Their conversion to Junglie will be complete by – wait for it – April 03.
