Abstract
RECENT rotary wing activity at Middle Wallop in Hampshire has included a Trade Show and emphasis here was on the Italian Agusta company which featured a range of helicopters and equipment. Types shown included the A‐129 Mangusta anti‐tank version which has two Rolls‐Royce Gem 1004 turbines and is the only aircraft of its class in Europe. It is able to operate at night and in conditions of poor visibility and has an advanced multiplex system to integrate the flight functions which supply the pilot and gunner with all the mission and flight information that is required. Other variants of the A‐129 include a naval type for use against fast moving surface vessels and as support for landing operations.
