Very nice paint job but when are the fast jet world going to catch up.
Wessex Fleet 33 yrs continuous Ops in NI 1969 - 2002
Puma Fleet 45 yrs Ops 1971 - Present (NI, Belize, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghan etc )
Chinook Fleet 34 yrs continuous ops 1982 - Present (Falklands, NI, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq x2, Lebanon, Sierra Leone, Afghan etc)
Merlin 2004 - 2015 Bosnia, Iraq, Afghan and would have been more if not handed over to the Navy
Sorry boys if I have missed any out but the SH force has been on Ops for years with little or no fanfare
