What, you mean like: "military intelligence" ?
If we get them for £14/15M a pop they'll be well worth it, provided that :
a. We crack on and decide what FASGW is
b. We buy it an put it on the aircraft
c. We avoid stupid ideas like putting it into the IFTU and then cancelling the first years spares as a "cost-saving"
d. We put a decent gearbox in from the off....
The T45 will carry Flynx by default, as there aren't enough Merlin airframes to sort both the 2087 equipped T23 and a T45 deployment. AS mentioned elsewhere. Merlin HM currently brings very little additional capability in anything but ASW. I am still waiting to see how a 16 tonne helicopter can be moved around by 10 blokes and a palletrion on steroids....

Any chance of FLynx being used aboard CVF for SAR, force proection etc?
What will it be called when it enters service? The Now Lynx, the At this moment in time Lynx, the Oh my God it's late Lynx, the We've waited a long time for this Lynx?
Suggestions, please.
