nimbev,
Without reopening all the old wounds and whilst agreeing you make a valid point, BAe will always carry a large part of the blame, not least for pitching up at Kinloss in the mid nineties and promising something they knew full well they did not have a snowball's chance in hell of delivering on time and on budget...and that was with no "goalpost moving" by anybody. That said, they were my no means the only villain in the piece.
