What a load of tosh!
The Arfur Daley of aviation wasted mi££ions back in the '80s when they couldn't fit pods to the TriShaw, why on earth would anyone even consider resurrecting more of such dinosaur jets some 20 years later?
Business Weakly should stick to things they understand.

Used to be an absolutely mint VIP TriStar come into Brize a few years back, belonged to King Hussein of Jordan if I remember rightly. Wonder if that is available, it could do both jobs.
Reassuring to know that DPA don't consider any sort of fallback/alternatives while they are negotiating with a prime...

The last three words of the final paragraph are perhaps a tad optimistic.
Slightly off topic I know but the article reminds me of the sort of journalism that produced the headline: "MoD's top scientists refuse to comment on a link between under-wire bras, mobile phones and a rise in Breast Cancer" (or words to that effect). A few years ago a journalist rang the DSGT at Cranwell and managed to get through to one of the radar specialists. He introduced himself and asked the specialist whether he thought there was a link. The reply was along the lines of "What? How would I know? I can't possibly comment..." And so a headline was born - British journalism at its best.
