Who else was going to do it?
This contract was whittled down to the usual suspects fairly quickly. The only other workable options were to involve Bond-Babcock. AW would still be in a mess over the AW189. The CAA would still be struggling to keep up while they plan their next reorganisation.
Looking on the bright side, perhaps Bond-Babcock would have employed a builder who knew how to keep the roof on at exposed coastal locations.
So do you have a friend at Lockheed Martin or Elbit or NHV who thinks that they might have done a better job?
