Defence Press Conference today talking about troubled projects with Def Min, and Min for Def Procurement. They said MRH90 was delayed 12 months in entering Navy service (ie Sea King replacement) and 18 months in entering Army service.
The journo question about how the poor record of MRH90 would impact the NH90 decision (ie S-70B replacement) was completely lost on the junior minister !! They really are aware of what's going on.
