LB - I think from what I have heard (rumour control!) that AW always intended to do a lot of 189 stuff at Yeovil, but they can put a commercial case for moving full production to Yeovil if its kicked off and supported by a big UK order. I think about a 3rd of the bits are made in the UK anyway, as well as a lot of the design work. I think EC might challenge your view on what can fit in the cabin too.
Bremen - a German name from ireland.
There is something Irish about your comments too. I would be very surpised if any of the Bidders have submitted both medium sized types (175 and 189) as part of the same solution - that simply doesn't make sense. As for your report that the EC CEO has said all bidders have put 175 in their bids? Where on earth did that come from?
Another non-sequitor perhaps - your not a journo are you?
