In 1971 an order was placed by the RAAF for 11 AH1G, 42 UH1H and 72 OH58A.
However, post Vietnam this was reduced to 12 UH1H and 56 OH58A, with the AH1G being entirely dropped. Now, @Riain and I have been exploring further the WI that the AH 1 G had been acquired by the RAAF and, also working under the assumption that helicopters, excluding those of the Fleet Air Arm, remained under RAAF control.
Noting the typically parsimonious attitude that the Australian government has towards the ADF, what upgrade could the AH - 1 G expect to receive in the 1990s? Any upgrade would set a large threshold for domestic participation, so that should also be borne in mind with any suggestion.
