AW clears misconception on military manufacture
AgustaWestland is not relocating all its military helicopter manufacturing to the UK, as had been assumed by some in the wake of last month’s dual announce

AgustaWestland is not relocating all its military helicopter manufacturing to the UK, as had been assumed by some in the wake of last month’s dual announcements of a UK Ministry of Defence order for 70 Future Lynx helicopters and the news that the firm’s AW149 model will be built at its facility at Yeovil in southwest England. This misperception developed, according to a company spokesman, because it plans to make Yeovil the headquarters for its military products, under the direction of Alan Johnson, managing director of AgustaWestland military products.
