I are just remembering processes/terminology from a while ago. But I suspect the concept was the same back then as it is now - namely, due process to obtain funds iaw the rules/regs/naming conventions in use at the time - that's what I meant! Even I can't ever remember an "Admiralty Board Submission" - but, again, guess it depended which Vote it came from and a lot of my stuff came via the RAF - despite the colour of my Uniform! An ABS very likely included what was effectively a "Business Case" (i.e. costed justification) as part of the submission - but was probably called something else. The rigour would have been, if not exactly the same, certainly as required by our "Lords and Masters" at that time to justify a bid for funding. That element has always been there. Anyway, we still digress - my fault!!!!
