Snakepit:
Forget about the Ferrari and consider "the country is sourcing a SAR solution that it’s able to afford at present". My Ferrari comment was possibly an unrefined way of making the same point after Mr Whirls last post. The only thing I would like to add is blah blah blah.
I am not sure he ever said or inferred that? He did say that their (bond) parent company (Avincis) was under a profit warning. A totally different issue as to who may or may not be the lowest bidder for the UK SAR bid.
You have a point there.....albeit an unlikely one and I will have to fish some place else....Cheers!
