Stop being condescending.Then presumably MoD R&D somehow has 1000+ personnel working on design, manufacturing, assembly and testing just for this engine.
Are those imaginary personnel in the same room, can you see them, can you see job-openings for those positions?
Or is it the deus-ex-machina appearing out of thin air to break ice, and support someone's promotion.
This is pure betrayal, nothing more, nothing less.
My theory is as soon as TEI got the metallurgical (and other) know how to completely reverse engineer f110, they had some people move to MSB ARGE, kept it small and moving. If this theory is true, a lot of the engine parts can be simply requisitioned from Air Force anyways. They must have had a team of low hundreds, maybe some working simultaneously on other institutions. The engineering work would be shortened significantly if all the dimensions are all pre-determined and you have to solve metallurgy side of things.
And again, this is a theory. You don't have to go around insulting people with this impotent faux outrage.
