Hi Folks
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..... ?
