I wonder if 'stealth' sheeting on the car will help 'avoid' radar traps
.
I wonder if Quiniteq would have made more for the treasury as a 'govco' rather than being 'sold on/privatised',, they would probably never have taken the risks required to actually get anything to work if they were still govt though ?

The government would have also made a lot more if QQ had been sold off for a sensible price rather than allowing themselves to be ripped off by the directors who made millions out of the sale.
Missed this completely, was it a channel 4 thing as the title implies? Google is showing a BBC program of the same name but further details are blocked at work.

Thanks for the heads up, nice to see the guys behind the scenes getting some good press, plus having worked on the Farnborough site it's always odd to see places you know on telly.
However on the OPs initial point, it wasn't Boeing that cocked up, they delivered exactly what they were contracted to.
Shame the week befores isn't still on iPlayer as I've for Rolls too.

Pretty much a disgrace really but then DERRA/DRA/RAE should never really have been privatised in the first place.
The outsiders who were brought in tho manage the change from state ownership were "allowed" to buy shares in the new operation at WAY below their true value and then sell them as quickly as they could when the company was listed on the Stock Exchange.
Very much like what happened in Yeltsin's Russia actually.
One of the great scandals of the New Labour era - although the ball had been rolling since about 1994.
