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?
I still find this one hard to follow, but what chance wing production will even go to Europe? Airbus wings are going to be built in China. Airbuses will probably all be built in China in 10 years! What I still find frightening is, what is Europe and America going to do to pay their way in the modern world? Cars, aeroplanes, ships....all migrating East. It's scary. What we will see is a long term decline of Dollars and Euros to compensate for a Europewide industry rust belt.
