Have just seen a BBC news interview with Robert Fox who is the defence correspondent for the London Evening News.
Howard Wheeldon has been on BBC Online and presumably radio. Dreadful. I think he first heard of this contract over breakfast this morning so then he went on the BBC and pretty much slagged off Bristow because nobody in the defence club had got the contract. If by some irrational miracle, Lockheed or Elbit had got it, presumably overpaid defence 4r53l1ckers would be all over the airwaves telling us how wonderful privatised SAR was going to be.
