OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh - cynical!
I have to say, considering what we p*ss down the drain in the name of local engineering, for overdue, out of date stuff we have developed ourselves, I'd rather buy a load of US stuff in kit form, and build them and maintain them locally. If Tony and George ever fall out, then we have the ability to engineer our way out of any withfrawl of spares, etc.
That way, more hospitals, better schools, more plod funding
and better lead in times
