    Perhaps might open a window to Training with our boys?

    The Defence Helicopter Flying School (DHFS) is based at RAF Shawbury. An independent unit within the Station, its task is to provide basic single-engine helicopter training for the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force, and some overseas countries.

    They still do and will continue to. The 2 AW-139 are an addition.
