Puma Mk2

Assume the Pumas at Boscombe will be the Mk2s?

Always wondered what a Puma could do that a Merlin could not?

From what I have seen and my Boy told me (he did a tour on Apache at Bastion) the Chinook has been/is brilliant.

I don't suppose I am qualified to comment but I figure Merlin was more a "make work task" for Westland. More about politics than aerodynamics. please tell me otherwise. Yes there are green ones, grey ones and Danish ones.
