Reviewing the Situation

The Gorse Fox had to travel to Farnborough. He had been asked to participate in a review of a large up-coming contract. He had a long discussion with the Don prior to the meeting to ensure he understod as much as possible of the background. Then prepared for the event itself.

This seemed to be attended by a cast of thousands - which surprised him, given the technical nature of the review. Once it started, however, it was clear that they had not prepared the technical details and were intent on telling us the story of their efforts. Whilst interesting, this turned into a long afternoon - and they were asked to go away and get all of the technical information so that it could be reviewed later in the week. A wee bit frustrating.
