My point was
there is no "international collaboration".

Or at least
we deserve no say in it,
as BAE sold out,
and Broughton & Filton are now only subsidiaries.

Airbus's target was to save €5 billion by 2010 and €2 billion a year thereafter.

Opening a plant in Tunisia,
mean't cheaper components,
and encouraged the state airline to purchase Airbuses.



Not disagreeing with your overall sentiments.

UK at one time built 85% of all the world's ships.

Now..... ? :'(
