The official RAF website still has:

No.72 Squadron RAF Aldergrove with 8 Wessex HC2 (didn't ten fly home in April?) and 5 Puma HC1

and

No.230 Squadron RAF Aldergrove with 13 Puma HC1

When did 230 re-absorb the 72 Squadron Pumas (and crews, presumably), and how many do they now have?

Jacko - looking at this & a couple of other threads on here, you need to get out more!!!! We all know we work to outdated & outmoded regulations, rules & practices - just because we introduce technology doesn't mean we're gonna keep things up to date - just means we can get further out of date far quicker than before!

As mentioned, just check the RAF News - at least it's usually only a week or 2 out of date.
Even the Official RAF Calendar has ex-SACs on it who now reside in the O Mess!!

Yes, I do need to get out more!

Working on a broadly pro sympathetic survey of the RAF for a specialist aviation mag au moment so can expect little help from DPR!

Your faith in the detail offered by (and the accuracy of) the RAFN is refreshing - are you its editor? :D
