As the Americans say, I have no dog in this fight.
However.....
It seems unfortunate that, from the last 2 posts, those close to the MR4A program seem to have limited insight into what went wrong and why the customer ditched it, and thus there seems little prospect of the UK aircraft industry addressing what must be significant issues that look like slowly leading to said industry eventually dissappearing (probable with bewildered staff wondering what did we do wrong).
There looks to be a significant/major amount of head in the sand if those close to the program maintain that it was all going along swimmingly, especially compared to other comparable programs.
If it was all going so well, why is there so much critisism and eventual cancellation?
Perhaps it would be healthier to look from the inside with an attitude of lets address the issues that led up to this situation of cancellation, and learn from it.
