If you read most of the critical comments you will find little concern for the quality of engineering, indeed I have had the pleasure of helping to sell some of it internationally, once even alongside Beags. And who made our job most difficult, the management of a now large aerospace company who did not even know how their kit worked. On another occasion a company totally failed to respond to a serious equipment query from NASA, I still maintain its not our engineers who let the side down but management whose interest is more in self rather than product promotion and all too often have an overconfidence in their understanding of the task. Could it be that the accountant should go back to his books and the engineer be given the reigns back?.
