The British Army Air Corps decided to use those helicopters in domestic operations (being flown by 8 Flight AAC to support SAS regiment deployments in the UK), alongside two additional A109 which were purchased later following favorable use of the first two; all were retired in 2009.

The twin-engine design gives the pilot more flexibility when planning routes over built-up areas, as the aircraft can operate at limited weights on a single engine; therefore even if power from one engine is lost, the aircraft can maintain height to clear the built-up area. The twin-engine design also increases safety margins when flying in and out of confined landing sites. The aircraft is a twin-engined, eight-seat helicopter with retractable undercarriage, weighing about 2000 kgs and cleared to operate up to 3000 kgs. The rotor system comprises three main rotor blades and two tail rotor blades of composite construction. The A109 has two independent hydraulic circuits, driven from the main rotor gearbox: one provides power to one side of the main servo jacks and gives servo assistance to the tail rotor, while the other services the other side of the main jacks and powers the utility services for undercarriage movement and braking. Until 2008, when they were replaced by the Dauphins, 8 Flight operated a fleet of 4 Agusta A109s, two of which were captured from the Argentines during the Falklands conflict. 8 Flight is based at SAS HQ at Credenhill, near Hereford. Currently on lease with 660 Squadron based at RAF Shawbury are two Augusta 109E's for pilot training # Photos per serial Other A109 Hirundo operators - Royal Air Force A109 Hirundo squadrons - 660 Squadron Reports including A109 Hirundo - ZR325 - RAF Northolt Night Photoshoot VI

Operational history.
Various branches of the Italian military have operated variants of the AW109; the Guardia di Finanza has operated its own variant of the AW109 since the 1980s for border patrol and customs duties, by 2010, it was in the process of replacing its original AW109s with a new-generation of AW109s. 
 In 1982, the Argentine Army Aviation deployed three A109As to the Falkland Islands during the Falklands War. They operated with the helicopter fleet (9 UH-1H, 2 CH-47C and 2 Pumas) in reconnaissance and liaison roles. One of the helicopters was destroyed on the ground by a British Harrier attack; the others were captured and sent to Europe in HMS Fearless (L10).
