Mostafa - leave your Westland obsession for a second ! Aircraft maintaince and repair does happen in the U.K without them being involved.
Bob - dealing direct with Boeing makes perfect sense . The work can be farmed out in the U.K and U.S as required. The U.K cannot afford to go out and buy new machines and ditching the existing spares support for the RTM332 makes no sense. The U.S is reworking vast numbers of Apaches -doing this work in the U.K under a Boeing contract means that your employing U.K citizens and that gives employment and offset. Thats what makes a deal work.
