New production line in America. So it doesn't matter if we stop Hawk production in the UK. All it will mean is that BAE shift yet another part of their business to the USA. And what they would be shifting would be production of their last manned aircraft. By then Typhoon production would have ceased and theres nothing to replace it. So bye-bye Warton and Salmesbury (unless they actually manage to sell a drone to the MOD)
BAEs interests in the UK are declining and petty much irrelevant. Why should they not relocate to the USA?
