Army head flies in US helicopter

Britain's armed forces have more than 500 helicopters, but fewer than 30 are being used in Afghanistan. Head of the Army General Sir Richard Dannatt, who has been flying with Today presenter Sarah Montague in a US helicopter, says if he moves in an American helicopter it is because he does not have a British one.
