Yeap, Broughton factory, Hawarden Airport, Wales (UK) - that"s where the AB wings are made.
They are subsequently flown to Toulouse using Beluga aircraft (modified A300-600) for final assembly on Airbus airframes.

Avro used the place to build Lancaster and Wellington during the war, then Hawker-Siddely 125 after.
I landed there a couple of times.
No regular airline does fly to that piece of (nice) countryside.
