The UK Army has H-53s with Miniguns? Wait... the UK Army has H-53s? When did they actually get a competent helicopter?

CS says owned by the Army and also says H-53 have been straffing but he doesn't say they are army CH-53's.....just that they are using the army owned range for practice.

I guess it was a bad attempt at humor then... Guess I need more smilies at the end of the post.

On a serious note, the "H-53" aircraft were most likely MH-53M's from the 21 SOS at RAF Mildenhall. They're the only "H-53" types with miniguns. The CH-53s of the US Marine Corps have .50" Browning M2 machine guns.
