Lets not forget the money either. For British industry it is a huge huge winner. Getting 20%? of a project this big is going to keep money rolling in for many years to come. Probably far out stripping the outlay on the jets themselves. ... plus we get to peak inside too unlike the other partners. Its such a great deal.. if its decided we don't need them, it would be better to buy them and crush them than loose out on the work share!!
