Take a massive Lemsip and a nap LO.
Given the heat that the Program (and I do mean that term) was under following the engine issue, the JPO were working WITH the Services (US NAVAIR, USMC and UK) to make the RIAT and Farnborough 14 event happen as much as possible. In that regard, I'd point out that it is considered a very military thing to work to the objective until the point of no return, then decide. You saw that played out in the press. That decision was, ultimately, called, following more question and answer sessions, technical advice and deliberations than you could imagine. It was a wise call and one made in consultation with ALL involved parties, not solely NAVAIR even though they were the ultimate voice.
I've also heard Echinacea shows positive benefits to getting over a cold....
I really do love our little talks.
