Question WHATS IN A FEW MEASUREMENTS

In the old days, 1995, an outstanding bit of airmanship saved a crew but lost a Nimrod R1. So Project Anneka was launched. We in blue were all well aware that the Company, BAe, had discovered that the new airframe was not quite the same as any other airframe. In fact, few of the airframes were standard. So after making a b*ll*cks of the MRA4 sub-contracting and having to take back the wing contract they then express surprise that the fuselages to be converted to MRA4 were not quite common. They claim this has contributed to their disappointment and financial loss caused by fixed contract payment.

Come on BAe Systems, what commercial planet are you on? I would give similiarly negligent officers who may have lost only a few pence in an SIF audited account a poor ACR.

BAe 'discovered'? We were well aware that the airframes were all different in the early 70's.... Are they going to put the hydraulic leaks back in to get the original smell back as well?

Also surely not the same company that is now over 1 year late in delivering my replacement, and has bodged, delayed and messed up almost every stage in the contract????
All they had to do was drill a few holes in to a 146.........

No can't be surely?????
