Yes I remember watching an arrestor landing at Amberley when I was at 6SQN a few years ago - funny the arrestor system was working fine on the aircraft I have worked on.....
As for aquisition of recent aircraft - the only aircraft that remotely comes close to the dribble/rant by criticalmass would be the Seasprite and even then its a software issue and not much else.
Currently I am involved with the Tiger and MRH projects and havent seen any deviation from the OEM build....again get your facts straight before posting off on a wild tangent...oh and the organisation you are referring to would be DMO.....
