OK , this is unashamed stealing of Paul's helicopter wing ideas:
301 squadron, 6 ML helicopters for SAR.
302 squadron, 6 ML helicopters for army co-op.
303 squadron, 9 utility helicopters for training and all the rest.
I've put this up as a seperate topic as I belive the subject is worthy of futher discussion, and because I belive any possable re-birth of the Air Corps will begin with the rotary wing fleet. We would all love flashey fighters, but it's heli's that are what we are going to see most of as they go about their work.
I am going to stick my neck out here : I belive that the service's choice of helicopters would be the Cougar for the ML, and the EC-135 for the light. Despite being a twin, FADEC makes the EC-135 suitable for training, so no third type is needed, so I've been told by people who know a lot more about helicopters then me.
Ok the ball is in your court, tear it apart, if you must.
