Tarnished

I think we’re all on the same side and want the same things. We’d all love a British success story here but I, for one, am a realist.

I can think strategically and I understand the need for British industry and jobs to be protected. However, as someone intimately involved at the coal face I still cannot see a way forward for Aeralis in the next generation trainer process. They just haven’t progressed their idea far enough to be taken seriously, especially when current timeframes and likely customers are considered.

Please, please prove me wrong.
