Hmmm.
Here's an interesting insight then:
On my course of 80 aircraft design students at Cranfield only 5 are British. And 3 of those are here courtesy of the RAF.
The other 75 are all foreign, and come from just about everywhere: Africa, China, France, Spain, Germany, Hungary, America, Malta, Pakistan, Australia...
In a very short period of time I fear most of the jobs in aircraft design will be filled with these top guys and girls, and yet another UK industry will have lost it's domestic talent.
I'd love to know why there's only two of us self funded here...
