Keeps the RR boys busy building 80 replacement engines.
Did damage their reputation on some orders but they are still the preferred engine option for many airlines.

I suppose so, most likely FOC though?

It's good, particually given that they are British and are leading the way. Nice to have one thing to make you pround, even in this day and age.

Did you see that program last summer on the BBC about RR?
