    Suspect there might be a bargain to be had buying one of these off the French. We don't have the helicopters to fill it but that's a minor detail when we have an aircraft carrier!

    And for the bargain price of €600 million;)

    Besides the French are still going to hand them over at the moment, just delayed it a few months to stop the other NATO members yelling at them.

    It's not just the helicopters we don't have, that yoke is designed to carry main battle tanks that we're a bit short on too , plus where would we (as a nation :-) ) go in it ...
