Another reinventing of the wheel that lost the plot, 'and no computers'. When does an organisation get to realise that when you have capable people in the system the system 'purrs' along despite clots at the top. When you loose capability you loose the lot as we have seen, and are still experiencing.
It is the same whether it is a Glider or an Ejection seat, the hands on guys 'make the system' that can not be replaced by box ticking and sheds loads of paperwork to cover it up. Hats off to those who still 'make it happen' despite the clots in charge.
