Scrap the Puma extension, buy additional merlins / chinooks to supplement current fleets. Thus reducing costs of old equipment. Even the Black hawk buy, good piece of kit/ good value for money and troops on the ground.
22 Chinooks on order from US, old news and was covered in the media. A newspaper may be a good investment.
Buy more Merlins? Why? They aren't a very capable platform. It is a testament to the crews (dark and light blue), that they have made them work in some sort of fashion.
Assign all helicopters to the Army Air Corps, as they are all mostly used in suppport of ground troops. Reducing all the red tape and different chains of command, thus reducing costs at the same time making it more efficient.
Yawn, see any of the several arguments on this forum. Unless you already have and you're fishing.
Re-Examine the Lynx purchase. Small in size and not even able to carry a fully equiped section of men. Replace with Black Hawk.
Agree, but it's been suggested for years and hasn't happened, mainly because all 3 parties are chasing votes in the South West.
