British EH101s in Iraq

This is probably “old news” to some folks, but I read an article today that the UK has sent 4 EH101 Merlins to Iraq on a unit rotation. They replaced some HC.1s (CH-47s) that headed back to the UK. Be interesting to see their reports on how they operate out there. [:)]

Great info on the links! My mistake on the HC.1, the Hookers are HC.2s.
