the astronomical cost of converting QEC that was supposedly fitted, "for, but not with" cat and trap capability was much harder in the post-2010 SDSR reality when they realised it wasn't exactly as Aircraft Carrier Alliance had said.
This is the sort of thing that makes those of us on the outside beat our heads against the wall.
Who is being hilti-gunned to the underside of a Challenger tank for their part in this? Why is it OK for businesses to screw over the MoD, and thus J. Taxpayer, in this way
The contract didn't specify a requirement for cat and trap, at that time or in future.
"for, but not with" was invented by some politician.
