How come they're so good at selling weapons to dictatorships but they can't even keep the RAF flying?

In Germany, they say BAe stands for "British Antique Equipment". Working on the BAe146, I some times think they are right, though I do try to correct them saying it stands for "British Advanced Engineering" ;D

Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 5:47 amMy best friend used to build 146s at Hatfield. Having heard the horror stories you'll never get me on one! My favourite was getting the wiring loom to fit. String it between two points and get the fatest bloke in the factory to use it as a swing and stretch it

Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 6:47 amUnfortunately, Hawks crashing at airfield with solo students seem to have tended to be pilot error in the past (although I'm not speculating on that quite yet). PPrune has mentioned the old flapless circuit.
BAe? Top quality engineering - you should try a turboprop trainer built by redundant ship builders in Belfast!
