MISSILE ALERT

The Merlin breaks hard to port and fires a spread of white hot flares in response to an incoming missile threat while supporting friendly ground forces. Merlin has now replaced the much loved and long serving Sea King as support helicopter to the Royal Navy offering greater lift/range capacity and a much more up to date airframe.
