It is ironic that, having created uncertainty by saying the Airbus UK plant in Broughton was somehow at risk due to Brexit, they suddenly end up adding to their UK plants instead.

Is there any synergy between Broughton and Belfast in wing design and manufacture ? Ironically, 60 years ago, the Belfast plant (then Shorts) was a subcontractor to the Broughton plant (then De Havilland) for the production of Comet fuselages.
