Airbus Manuals - US Vs UK English

Hi,

I have a question regarding the Airbus Manuals.

Being Airbus a European company, in my opinion, it makes total sense that the manuals should be written in the British version of the language.

It is quite obvious that it doesn't make much of a difference to the normal Joe if "colour" is written with or without a "u", the truth is, there aren't many differences.

But on the other hand, if there aren't many differences, and if the UK did take part of the project in the early days, why did "Jean Pierre" decide to write everything in US English?

I just can't get it...

Well, that's it..

Tks
