Thumbs down

If only BAe had kept a stake in the civil a/c market - they might now have a fall back position now that markets more buoyant - but foolish of me that'd take a some long term planning and investment (see France, Germany, Spain, Canada, Brazil....and others..including China..).....something BAe and successive Governments ain't been good at. Short term bucks - military grave train contracts..oh dear
More heritage gone the way of Radlett, Hurn, Kingston, Weybridge, Hatfield, Dunsfold, Woodford....any more for any more
