A good point , and who pays for those I wonder. Britain in general should be incredibly proud of its engineering work as a supplier to Airbus Industrie, for once something that truly is world class and world leading as aicraft wings are extremely complicated structures and have a massive effect on performance and economics. It is just very sad that BAe made the decsion that they did and theyare probaly regretting it now with the sheer scale of orders in the market . But not the only case of under investment by the Uk , an issue covered in the Guardian today so unlikely to get much traction on Pprune but makes familair reading.
