apart from errors previously noted. Under Attack Helicopters the only remaining Lynx are the AH9As and the Special Forces AH7s, nowhere near 47! The Gazelle no longer has an attack role. There are no Gazelles in Combat Support (looking at the source report these are RAF examples! I don't think so). No mention of the maritime Merlin HM2, Lynx HMA8, Wildcat HMA2 and Avenger T1 observer trainers. No mention of Army Defender AL2, T3 and Islander AL1, CC2B. No mention of MRCOA fleets in operational and training roles such as the DHFS fleets at Shawbury and Middle Wallop (Squirrel HT1, HT2 and Griffin HT1), Griffin HAR2 in Cyprus, Bell 212 AH1, AH2 and AH3 in Brunei and Kenya, and A109 at Northolt. King Air 200 trainers at Cranwell. Atlas C1 at Brize Norton. Dauphin for fleet support and AH1 SF. As for including 146 gliders!
Its all a bit of a joke.
Oh, and under Armoured Vehicle Launched Bridges, Chieftan should be spelt Chieftain!
