I only heard over the weekend that it had finally been delivered, all very low key, not very much in the way of press releases either.....

Any insight into the future for 255 then? Is she due to be 'retired' or will GASU operate 3 helo's?

255 will fly occasionally just to keep the cob webs off. It will possibly take part in a GASU formation flight prior to saying a final goodbye.
