Any trials done lately ?

Hi guys

Has there been any trials done with Merlin in the last 24 months ?

Laughingly been reading Arrse forum and there's some regular Contributor / fountain of all knowledge to all aerospace defence topics and other stuff whose supposedly an scope jockey from the Fighter Control branch claims that Merlin AAr trials already been completed ? This is in the thread about the UK and the V22 and how it be useful for the CHF. He's state the obvious about lack of cash in the inventory and there's more pressing needs of the realm. He also says why would we need v-22 when the Mk4 hs capability for AAr due to trials already completed with the Merlins prior to transfer to CHF!


Cheers
