People in several corners of the industry have talked recently about whether Babcock want it enough and whether they'd rather be building boats. I wonder how much that is part of this story.
I don't think that's the story at all. The Scottish Ambulance Service contracts with GAMA. GAMA sub-contracted Babcock to do the helicopter bit in the past. GAMA have now decided not to renew that sub-contract and have chosen to do it themselves by moving from their fixed wing background into the helicopter world. Babcock weren't actually bidding on the contract in the traditional sense.
