Irreducible Spare Capacity at MoD Contractors

Having attended Helitech at Duxford last Thursday I took the opportunity to 'lift' some of the blurb for FB Heliservices (FBH) etc.

In these days of PPP/PFI, I believe that MoD contractors can offer spare capacity to the 'open market'. Does that mean I can ask FBH to quote me a price for my PPL (H) conversion ???

( I have 20 years TA service under my belt and am a CI with a local ATC Sqn so I have the necessary clearances...)

Can't see it myself. If I was an Arabian defence minister with deep pockets it might be different. But... its all profit at the end of the day.

Any thoughts from this community??
