WMF - I don't feel the need for a sit down with Dr Hill and I have said several times that I will be happy if he succeeds in delivering what he promises - I just don't think he can manage the price/performance point he wants and certainly not inside his originally promised timescale. I wouldn't be placing an order even if I did have the money.
Yes, I will always applaud new innovations and inventions - but only if they work and are at least as safe as what they replace.
I was flying AW 139 when the Leicester crash happened and there was suddenly a lot of concentrated engineering energy expended to make sure it wasn't an inherent manufacturing fault - I'd be interested to hear your tale of narrow quirk of fate regarding that incident.
