But even with that info, that requirement was not just realised in December 09, it was known that it would be needed sometime in the future so why not drip feed tenders for the various MOD requirements. It still appears that no forward planning was done, it is all firefighting last minute pressure planning everytime, living on a knife edge and then at the last minute apply pressure to people to get things done in short order is not good for a business or for the employees health and sanity.
But no doubt someone will hopefully tell me that I have percieved the situation incorrectly and give the facts so we can all stop getting worried that we might not see 558 until later this year, if at all.
Aaargh I have done it again, must stop logging in, I am in danger of ending up in the doghouse for not being positive![]()
Have a nice day peeps, regards Mick
Drawing on my memory banks here from over the last few years, I don't believe this mod will be as time consuming as you all think. Although the mod was never embodied they do know what is required. When I said the paperwork was never drawn up I meant the tech drawings. There will be sketches that only need converting, they don't need to design the mod from scratch.
