Hold on chaps, I have a much better idea... Hear me out..
Why don't we design our own attack helicopter?!! Rather than buying one ready made of here shelf, tried and tested, with spares in abundance, let's design and build our own from scratch!? Actually that's going to cost slightly more, so let's maybe let the Italians get involved too, I mean it worked for the Merlin? Those were a lot cheaper and a lot better than anything that was on the shelf weren't they?
I happened to be looking at the Westland concept model of the lynx derived attack helicopter on Wednesday in the international helicopter museum, and thinking thank goodness we never went for it, as it would have been rubbish at hot and high stuff.
That said, the Westland black hawk looked nice in a sandy cammo scheme
