Cool

And look what was about to roll out as I got there  Shocked

They're in storage at Shawbury, and I assume going off to Wattisham like the others that flew out previously, these may be being kept for spares. This mail came out on a spotters group which I am on....

Hi all the last AH64 to fly from WSM departed 10th as AA605 ZJ222
to Wattisham. WSM due to close soon, the last 4 AH64's will be roaded
out. So brings an end to an exciting time at Shawbury"

The Bell is essentially a 412, but in RAF style we call it a Griffin instead  Wink Grin

I think the Ramy (or even the ARMY!)  may have had an Apache manpower problem at one point, hence some aircraft being delivered straight into storage!
