Boeing attempted to buy out Yeovil recently
That could only be good news for the UK.......
Whilst AW are a vast improvement on AH on many levels, the UK taxpayer has been held to ransom over jobs in key SW constituencies, to sell a product that doesn't fit the spec, far too many times.
AW have made some good aircraft, but Boeing have a better record of building a good product, and more importantly, reading the customer requirements rather than fumbling around the current production line for something that may suffice.
