All three of them were damaged in the high winds on the day of the visit. I believe their rotors struck the ground. One of them has actually since been written off as beyond economical repair and there's a rumour that at least one (if not both) of the other two is likewise destined for the scrapyard. The Americans are currently stripping them down for onward dispatch.
Not correct. One was wind damaged (see the IT link you provided). The other three flew escort.

Indications are that the other three are flying back to the UK this afternoon. All four were due to go into a refurbishment programme to the latest spec after the Dublin trip - see my post here.
