In any project management there are tasks, milestones and dependencies. Some one in Vulcan to the Sky should have been watching those milestones and monitoring the tasks to ensure that the paperwork was ready to submit in time with a contingency for any problems. Even if the task was assigned to a contractor it was the VTTS project manager's job to ensure the tasks were on track to meet the milestones. To submit an incomplete application late and still expect it to slide through seems to beggar belief.
Pleming's job was simple to monitor that his project manager was on track with his projects.
I am just Gobsmacked.
At least I saw the display at Brize as brunty left for Waddington.
Full public statement Mr Pleming to your very disappointed supporters.
