The TSR2 springs to mind to counter the "run" part, however the rest of your post was on-target.
It would be great if there were still an as active, productive UK aviation industry "like in the old days." Both for the UK and to make us (the US) more competitive/imaginative. If Boeing and LM had more competition, it'd be better for all concerned.
