How To Strip Down, Rebuild & Flight Test A Merlin Helicopter

A team of Royal Navy engineers have been at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus practising how to rebuild a Merlin helicopter.
 
The aircraft was transported to Cyprus in the hold of a C17.
 
The engineers then had just a few days to reassemble and flight test it, before it was flown home to the UK.
