Jig Peter,

Wrong. Airbus is selling Filton to someone who will do then run it to deliver the exact same production capacity as exists there now. They are doing the exact same thing with a number of French and German plants. If GKN buy Filton (and maybe the other plants) then there will be no transfer of staff or manufacturing to Broughton.
