Frankly if I had a way back machine - I would have jumped in with you can thrown someone out of the bird before the Blackhawk buy got squashed...

I’d be up for that!!

Canada spins up Griffon replacement plan in move towards ‘balanced fleet concept’

Canada is likely to replace its ageing Bell CH-146 Griffons with multiple new rotorcraft types as it seeks a more "balanced fleet" to address its tactical transport needs.

The AW149 seems like the best option. It is likely to be chosen for the New Medium Helicopter program for the RAF.

Did no one see that the ‘Griffon life extension program’ will only keep them operating until 2031 but the initial operating capability for the replacement is set for 2033?!?
So what’s going to be used from 2031 to 2033?
