Mentioning the Merlin, is it true that it's designation 101 is a typo? Heard
it was too expensive/awkward to bother changing once the typo had been
noticed.

Supposed to be the European Helicopter Industries 01. But allegedly
someone fumbled it and made it the EH101 instead...

(at work I just know it as Merlin HM.1 but there you go)
