Without wishing to drift off-topic too much, and despite being told not to comment, I feel I have to.
I too was a Hatfield employee and re-located to Woodford in 1989. The 2nd 146 line was opened in 1988 at Woodford to cope with the extra demand for the aircraft (no, really, that's what we were told.) The fact that the company in reality wanted to close Hatfield is where the treachery lies, not with the Woodford workforce who were, after all, only trying to protect their own jobs.
I understand the bitterness felt then, we felt it to some degree ourselves, but to have no sympathy for those thousands affected by this decision strikes me as being rather worse than "unkind".
Sorry for the drift.
