Seems a lot of great British inventions and designs were sidelined due to the cheaper option and availability of using American equipment and aid. Thank heaven the French pushed the Brits into continuing with Concorde. I wouldn't be able to stand the bleating about it if the Yanks had done it. Theres a lot of British designs that the Yanks have taken as their own too, such as the Harrier. Oh well.
