Airbus, albeit civil at Toulouse, building hundreds of airframes per year is a fact not a myth. Airbus is in France because the French invested heavily after Concorde. They are even assembled in Germany because the Germans wanted it badly.
In the UK we have Typhoon, the Hawk(still) and some rebuilt Nimrods. Name me a new aircraft design that will be UK built? No?
BAe even sold the 125 sold to the US as BAe wouldn't develop it - the US did and still build it. All BAE do is manfacture bits for other more ambitious people.
Wake up and smell the coffee
