Those who do and those who dont
While I'm at it. There are a number of people on the thread passing their views, of which they have every right. However, having been on the project myself, in a blue suit, with no love of BWoS, there are the people I recognise as knowing about the aircraft and those who, from their comments, know it only by reputation. Those that know praise the ac and those that don't tend to criticise it. It was rough around the edges, would have needed refining, but had tremendous potential. As Her Majesty spends a lot of time selecting and training her aircrew and groundcrew, it results in a lot of girls and boys who can take such rough edges and make them shine, sometimes brighter that the designer realised was possible. It has happened before and would have happened again.
And before you ask I was involved with the software. Boeing were responsible for that, it worked and then they all left to work on the P8.
