1) You have a totally twisted and unbalanced view of the Airbus and its merits. I suspect that you have an unqualified regard for anything American, perhaps with a liberal dash of anti-Europeanism (envy perhaps?).
2) While the British car industry has undeniably declined in recent decades, one should not ignore the fact that Britain remains one of the centres for car design, exporting talent to the leading car-makers world-wide. Nor should one write off the very considerable success of firms like Jaguar in key export markets (don't tell me, they're just re-badged Fords, right?). And while they may not be worth much in terms of numbers of jobs, Britain's specialist car makers (Lotus et al) are in good shape, while Lotus (again) finds its services as an engineering consultant in great demand. The dominance of UK companies in the field of Formula 1 (and indeed throughout motorsport) is also a pointer to the health of an admittedly slimmed down and specialised industry.
3) Britain's bike industry was mis-managed and subject to the kind of under-investment and reliance on legacy models which can now be discerned in Boeing! Everything was being sacrificed to the shareholders, and modest investment in new models was not made. But you're behind the times, old chum, as the resurgence of Triumph under John Bloor proves.
4) Shipbuilding. OK. It looks like a token relic, an industrial capability maintained for political or strategic reasons. Certainly no match for New Zealand's sheer industrial muscle.
