Was there not also a mention of additional AW101s?
I'm guessing this is for Algeria. They've got an existing fleet of newish ASW Super Lynx that might need supplementing, rather than replacing, for their rather lofty naval ambitions.
I'm might be misremembering but I think I saw one of their final aircraft on the line in 2013, alongside the first Wildcats.

Yes AW101 was mentioned in August as well (presuming they are talking about the same customer). Everyone seems to think its Algeria.

Morocco might be a possibility. Considering the modest order.
Egypt, also needs to replace their Sea Kings and their Super Seasprites aren't getting any younger.
Until the mention of North Africa, I actually presumed both orders were for South Korea.

A good spot from Gabi...
Looks like Poland is going to order 22 troop carrying AW-101...this is in addition to the 4 ordered by the Polish Navy already for SAR.
