Just wondering, it takes us up to 3 years to get a new pumper in the US, how long does it take in the UK to get a new appliance?

Rev, 3 years is a short time to wait now. Newport News ordered two new Pierce TDAs early this year. Expected delivery date: late 2029!!!!!!

Yeah Ray, TDA's are in a league of their own! Since all the rigs in the UK are all the same I wondered what their situation is currently.
