	Team Merlin 2007
		The Merlin HC Mk3 is a new generation day and night operational multi-role helicopter which has greatly augmented the RAF's existing helicopter fleet.

	The Agusta-Westland EH101 & NH Industries NH90
		Westland of Britain's initial studies for a "Sea King Replacement (SKR)" were given the designation "WG.34".
		Discussions between Westland and Agusta of Italy on the SKR quickly resulted in the formation in June 1980 of a joint company named "European Helicopter (EH) Industries", with its headquarters in London, to develop the new helicopter, which was designated "EH101".
		The only armament qualified so far for the Merlin HM.1 is the Marconi Stingray torpedo, with the helicopter carrying up to four, but EH101 mockups were displayed with Exocet antiship missiles and it is very likely that other weapons, such as the Sea Skua antiship missile, will be qualified as well.

	Navy Matters \| Merlin HM.1
		Merlin is designed to operate in all weathers from the flight decks of both large and small ships (Invincible class aircraft carriers and Type 23 frigates).
		The Merlin CSP is expected to better adapt the Merlin to the littoral underwater and surface battlespace and enhance the utility of the helicopter in other roles such as supporting civil authority.
		The Merlin CSP project is being given enhanced importance by the Royal Navy because of the comprehensive review of the MOD’s helicopter requirements being currently undertaken by the Future Rotorcraft Coherency forum.

	BBC - h2g2 - Westland Whirlwind - World War II Aircraft
		As the 'Phoney War' escalated during the late 1930s, the British Air Ministry concluded that Fighter Command was without an aircraft that could perform long-range escort or night-fighter duties.
		Westland pushed for the Whirlwind Mk II, fitted with the Merlin engines, but the plea went unanswered and only 112 Whirlwind Mk Is were produced for the RAF.
		The name lives on in the Westland Whirlwind helicopter, however, and there are model kit forms available to remember the short-lived but fine career of the aircraft.

	House of Commons Hansard Debates for 9 Mar 1995
		There is an especially interesting competition going on for the Westland Merlin in terms of the US navy's helicopter requirement, and I should be grateful if he will confirm that the Government will give their full support as they have in the past.
		Yes, there are three variants--the utility, the maritime Merlin and the civil variant--and it is important to try to maximise the export opportunities for all those forms of helicopter.
		We expect both the Westland EH101s and the Boeing Chinooks to be delivered on the basis of contractual arrangements that we shall enter into, and we intend to ensure that both companies meet that requirement in the months and years to come.

		But President Bush is so eager to have the machines available on schedule in 2009, shortly before he leaves the White House, that the US Marine Corps has decided speed is of the essence and has moved most of the initial build to the UK.
		The choice of Westland for overseeing the finish and for quality control has been an unexpected boost for the manufacturer's West Country division, which last year cut its Yeovil workforce because of a six-month delay to a Ministry of Defence contract for light helicopters.
		Having landed the current production of the Presidential helicopter, which is based on the successful EH101 Merlin, Agusta-Westland feels it is now well-placed to win the contract for 146 rescue and reconnaissance helicopters for the US Marines and Special Forces, which would bring more work to Yeovil.
