There's a brilliant quote on that link:

I think Nevil Chute's autobiography "Slide Rule" should be required reading before embarking on another airship project.
Second verse same as first, should be better, but only getting worse...
There is a a Very Senior Officer who used to be high up in the MOD's capability area for ISTAR who now works for the Cardington gang - what is so different to him compared to the US General? Also, there are countless ex-Service individuals in a British Aerospace company that pull in their contacts within the UK military for contract bidding. I also know that this happens with the massive US Aerospace companies. So what has Gen Deptula done that others have been deemed not to have done?
