FLIGHT International, 30 January a new standard in operational adaptability The newest member of the British Army's tactical sup- port units, the SCOUT, now comes into Squadron Service giving the Army a new mobility in the field. Powered by a Bristol Siddeley 1050 shp Nimbus turbine, this rugged, all purpose helicopter will operate in roles covering reconnaissance, personnel and light weapon carrying, casualty clearance and liaison. Its compactness of design and high manoeuvrability enables this machine to land in difficult and sometimes inaccessible country making it an ideal vehicle for operations with tactical units. Recently given its full C.A. release for operating under tropical conditions as well as temperatures below freezing, the Scout with its small dimensions, exceptional payload/performance characteristics sets a new standard in operational adaptability.
