So let me set the record straight, The cock up at Saints was put down to the private company Airworks ! Now the MOD would never contract this company again.... or would it ?
Renamed VT Aerospace, as many of you know they are now providing us:-
air engineering and maintenance training
aircraft rectifications and modifications
antenna maintenance
communications systems
computer networking
ground-based radar systems
management training
project management
simulator maintenance
structural modifications
technical recruitment
vehicle modifications
Not bad for a company that damaged more than 15 of our finest frames !!!!
