Ian C,
I'd love to think that 'biog' was a made up joke, but having dealt with Wart On and 'up North' types I sadly recognise it...so now thanks to them & a certain M.Thatcher our manufacturing industry is at best a ghost, at worst a joke.
We ( and the U.S. ) need to actually make things again - Harrier 2+ would be a good start, sod the company politics, we need them - also one suspects ships will be required, after a few years' lull the strategic world has suddenly gone mad..
