Concur, Air Cap at HWY will miss the boat and be last to market as they believe everything should be synthetic even though GLADIATOR and TFST are far from what was promised. I genuinely don't know how you can replace circa 5,000hrs plus with pure synthetics in the next 8 years let alone 8 months?
Europe through the EDA and its members are probably more agile, less susceptible to decision paralysis, and actually see the benefit of live training. Just as well the UK remained a third country through bilateral administrative arrangements post-BREXIT where UK industry can benefit and partake programmes..................oh wait.
