I don't think Drayson would be forcing BAe and VT to form a Joint Venture Company as part of MIS just for the sake of a couple of T45's and the promise of some future surface patrol craft. At City Forum a few days ago he spoke of the CVF as if it was a foregone conlusion but he was not going to be shafted by industry over price etc - after all he has his own reputation as a businessman to protect - he is an on cost and on time merchant.
