Puzzled as to how (in this case) Germany - as a risk share partner - had recovered any of the loan if the entire production has run at an apparent loss, presumably servicing the loans forms part of the model. It would be interesting to see what the real P&L on the program looks like without white noise of wider accountancy, i.e. what has it really cost and what has it really lost (or made).
No further news from Dr Peters or Tarbes, have they started to break and realise value from the obsolete airframes? Perhaps with relatively small supply (as at today) the second hand parts market will be as interesting to watch as the second hand airframe market.
