Assigned to 4th Reg. This Longbow starts a new combat mission over southern Afghanistan. The Apache arrived in the UK on 8 Oct'00 and was delivered to GNK-Westland Ltd a few days later. It was assigned to the Advanced Helicopter Training Unit at Middle Wallop from 2001, then moved by road to Shawbury for storage in early 2003 and stored up late 2004. Moved to Agusta-Westland Ltd at Yeovil for modifications. Transferred to the Army Air Corps in late 2005. Deployed to Afghanistan, returned to the UK and was air freighted from Brize to the USA on 10 Mar'20 for conversion to AH-64E by Boeing.
