Last Mk3 Merlin Commando Junglie (Green) heads to conversion shop...headed toward an all Mk4 Merlin Commando (Grey) Fleet...

After seeing our final green Mk3A Merlin depart 845 NAS, the first of the new Mk4A #CommandoMerlin has just flown from @Leonardo_UK.

Following something of a rhinoplasty, we'll welcome 'AD' back soon as we enter a new chapter as an all-Mk4 fleet #FlyNavy

Always thought the Green Commando helicopters were so cool...especially the Sea King variant.  Times change though and apparently this tradition is going away.

Too bad.
