I hope you're right. The alternative is too bad to contemplate... Puma scrapped and Merlin to CHF. Then SAR goes civvy in 2016 (a done'ish deal), leaving an RAF Rotary force of Wokkas. (yes, ok, 84 Sqn and 32 as well - that's what...6 cabs?). How long before the Army say 'Oh you have 1 type, whose purpose is to support the Army - you know what...we'll have that, thanks a lot!'
