If the AC got it's Medium lift and light heli contracts (maybe even my own personal holy grail 8 of each) what would it's future roles be,
Would a substantive TT and army co-op capability (see frank aikens airborne reservist post for details, or rather my response to said) see the AC's role in the defense of the state restored?
Would a 16 strong helo fleet allow participation in peace support mission, this is the major issue as I think we can all agree that overseas service is the holy grail in obtaining funding for all three services.
How much of the fleet would have to stay at home, for what? And how sustainable or rapid would a/c deployments be?
