With the aircraft's demise goes the much-vaunted swing-role capability of the EF3.

Which leaves the RAF with only one swing-role aircraft, the Sea King HAR3, which can do SAR and ISTAR! If you doubt me, you should see how it's used in the Falklands. Which is why heli-dogging is such an important activity back home...
