I too worked at woodford until recent years. Let's face it the initial decision to convert existing aircraft was bad enough. The decision to do it at Woodford was nothing short of a disaster.
Any talent that was there in the latter years was purged out, deemed by our Dr Summerfield as being too old, if over 50..
The workforce left after the 2002 redundany was ' The Boys'. Many of whom being totally incompetent or damn right bone idle.
Please don't blame the government. you can only blame Woodford for a grossly overspent budget & time slippage, making it outdated before it would have been delivered. It was no good throwing good money after bad, It needed to stop.
I have witnessed the workmanship on aircraft in the later year at Woodford fist hand, it was nothing short of attrocious
