This piece from the Telegraph says a lot to me.
He quoted a former senior RAF officer who told his inquiry: "There was no doubt that the culture of the time had switched."

"In the days of the RAF chief engineer in the 1990s, you had to be on top of airworthiness."

"By 2004 you had to be on top of your budget if you wanted to get ahead."
Bean Counters!
