Woodfords track record with aircraft conversions and aircraft build is excellent as anybody who can see beyond the last 2 years will know. The MRA.4 programme was inherited late and has been dogged with design issues - not build problems.
How long did it take to convert the Vulcans to tankers?
How long did it take to build a 146?
Sadly BAE Systems have taken it upon themselves to fire most the people who knew what they were doing over the last 20 or 30 years and now has a site where morale is rock-bottom but the company still expects top performance.
Woodford was planned to have a major role in the 767 conversion with large hangars built on the south side of the airfield but that is now not going to happen. Filton is an Airbus site rather a BAE site so that would seem unlikely.
Rant complete.
