Off topic, admittedly, but I was appalled when BAE Systems sold its stake in Airbus. What long-term chance is there that Airbus wings will continue to be made in the UK? The weakness of the pound against the euro - if it becomes chronic - might help retain this work but I suspect that this decision will, in hindsight, be seen as contributing further to the decline of the UK civil aerospace industry.
