If only life were that simple 😉 eh Ken,whilst agreeing that the a/c firm directors screwed up bigtime…the same can be said for directors from other industries…we have always suffered poor leadership and lack of reinvestment in this country and I think it would be naive to believe that Governments/MOD/Airlines do not share some of the blame for our industries downfall…good old politics – whether it be boardroom or westminster are always guaranteed to muddy the waters.
Sometimes one has to look carefully at the personalities of the time and try to decipher what really was going on.
One of the airfields I used to work at…in the flight shed toilets,one trap had a larger cubicle with a higher ‘Throne’ – this originally had been put in for management only…so we all used to delight in using that one 🙂
