What role does green Merlin have that Chinook can't do?
It's keeps Yeovil's finest spares supplier in business
. But this would still be the case if we flogged them to another country...
merlin stays as its the only asw a/c we have left and both are currently in afghan
Most people (including the RN and probably even the Govt) treat the grey and green Merlins as different beasts entirely, so the fact that the grey Merlin is safe (surely?!) may not mean that much for the Mk 3/3As.
