In the old days, 1995, an outstanding bit of airmanship saved a crew but lost a Nimrod R1. So Project Anneka was launched. We in blue were all well aware that the Company, BAe, had discovered that the new airframe was not quite the same as any other airframe. In fact, few of the airframes were standard. So after making a b*ll*cks of the MRA4 sub-contracting and having to take back the wing contract they then express surprise that the fuselages to be converted to MRA4 were not quite common. They claim this has contributed to their disappointment and financial loss caused by fixed contract payment.
Come on BAe Systems, what commercial planet are you on? I would give similiarly negligent officers who may have lost only a few pence in an SIF audited account a poor ACR.
