Thanks for f**king up the MRA4 Project for over 10 years. Must be a record.
The R Letter should never, NEVER have been needed if your "Project" Managers were what they were supposed to be.
Ever heard of a f**king GANTT Chart?
Be proud of the UK Defence Industry? Really? Not if you lot are the "advert".

Undeniably, BAE works with the speed of a striking slug, but there are two sides to projects such as these.
Often the blue suited (in this case) side is staffed by non-professional project managers that are often moved on to satisfy career-progression and the like.
There are also many instances of 'moved goal posts'. Moving them costs time and money.
