		More than that, a recent Ministry of Defence trial has shown that it can be carried comfortably in the cabin of the RAF Merlin HC 3 helicopter, an aircraft regularly deployed by British armed forces for airlift and battlefield support.
		The trial took place at 28 Squadron RAF Benson using a Hilux Double Cab EX provided by the Inchcape Oxford Toyota centre, located in nearby Kidlington.
		In keeping with the squadron motto "Whatsoever you can do, do", it took just half an hour to demonstrate that the Hilux could be driven up and down the helicopter’s load ramp in and out of the cabin without the need for any structural changes to the aircraft.
