Announced at Farnborough today . Admirable , but not sure how far £2.5 million will go if they hope to start launching by early 2020's . Also giving £23 million to Lockheed Martin to bring their rockets in . Perhaps a nod to Brexit ( make Britain Great again) . As usual , British technology at the forefront , but who remembers what happened to HOTOL.....
(p.s rather unfortunate optics having what appeared to be a 60 year old 727 ( albeit nicely painted) in the static display behind the minister while he was making his announcement of the good news )
