None of said restrictions were the result of aircraft performance shortfalls. The MoD opted for the lease, Boeing (owner of the initial four aircraft) imposed limitations. Like any contract, there was an offer, consideration, & acceptance.
It's unreasonable to blame Boeing for the stupidity of the MoD.
I reiterate, C-17, within the RAF context, was on time, on budget, & delivered the contracted capability from the outset.
