Milo
I met some guys over the in the US in the UK firearms industry who did
a fair bit with the Brit Mil. Anyway, we were talking about night Vision
gear etc and he said the Brit Mil had this device.
He also said they had been issued a request for quote, which he binned and a while late someone called asking where the quote was, to be told they were not putting one in !
When asked why, he just told them flat out, "you'll want a demo unit at no cost for 6 months or more, you'll screw us on the price so no profit in it and
then you'll take bloody ages to pay" ! They were stunned because they
were not the only one's not to submit a quote !.
