I hope you're not suggesting that BAe take a hand? We're in this hole because of gross over-spend (and probably gross over-complication) on a UK solution
It is all too easy to blame industry - one could argue that 'gross overspend' equates to lack of project management by Procurement, and that 'gross over-complication' equates to an over ambitious requirement. Neither the fault of industry. Throw a few political directives into the melting pot and we have the usual cock-up.
