Wonder which version it will be, CH-47F maybe. Either way, they're rugged helos, can't really go wrong with an Chinook, heck they're faster than the Apaches are.....

A consolation prize for having to give up all the Merlins for the RN CHF.

Great platforms, the "F" has all the bells/whistles one can ask for, fully coupled autopilot. You can take off, fly your sling mission, and land without touching the controls and in formation if you wanted to.
