Regardless of size, the fact remains that the UK aerospace industry seems to be in no position to build military capability in a single end to end process - design, through production to wheels up. That would be one my metrics to consider when judging where we are placed. As it is, we have a lot of very high tech capabilities, but they are bit part in the sense that they produce parts for, but not entire capabilities.
