Flight Global has just published latest A400M slippages.

Cue the Big Top music: "Rit dit diddle diddle...etc"

EADS slows down A400M production due to engine flight-test delays


On a serious note, is our AT requirement not heavily or utterly relient on this platform? I hear the J needs rewinged in circa 2012 and is knocking up an eyewatering FI. The Tristar is having the guts ripped out of it's cockpit imminently. Are we at risk of a dreadful shortfall of airlift for the guys who so desperately need it in theatre?
