Nice post, Rivetman, but can you answer me this:
Alas it appears that the US forgot one crucial piece of the jigsaw....please generate and provide the substantiating evidence to the UK so the certification process can proceed.
Was that paid for and required in the original contract/documents/agreements, or is this an over and above requirement now levied?
Who is "the US" in this case?
USAF?
State Department?
DoD?
L-3?
Boeing?
Thanks. Again, your post was well worth the read.
