Devil Why does the RAF still fly helicopters?
With the demise of the Sea King, and Merlins being fundamentally a Navy disaster, why does the RAF still operate helicopters?

The role of the Chinook is army support. Why are they not operated by the Army Air Corps these days?

I know there is a Joint Helicopter command, but the continuing role of the RAF in this puzzles me.

Or is it just jobs for the boys in blue........
