Lots of people here seem hell bent on blaming BAE for the demise of the MRA4 and painting them as the biggest cowboys in the aerospace industry, the fact is, the aircraft is/was flying and the project was literally at 23.50 hours on a 24 hour clock from completion.
Im not really interested what BAE did on other projects, this thread is about the MRA4 and comparing other projects is like comparing apples & oranges.
BAE didn't kill the project, DC and the MOD did......people seem to be overlooking that.
