Shame that it is in 1/1250 scale! Not much more than 1/4 size of the rest of the CSG!

Ever-lasting truths: Multi-year budgets/ planning by necessity have to address the painful questions; more often than not the Either-Or prevails over Both-And.

Interestingly, the AW109 helicopter (G-MAOL) was previously owned by Sports Direct and Newcastle United owner, Mike Ashley.The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy was hosted onboard HMS Prince of Wales by the Defence Secretary Ben Wallace on 7 October. The video documents their arrival by helicopter (First landing of an RAF Puma on one of the new aircraft carriers) and tour of the ship.
G-MAOL is now currently operated by Sloane Helicopters Ltd.
