I also take "pride" if that's the word in my own place. So when I see RR on
the engines of any plane I'm pleased. I also note that the wings of Airbus -
and many other planes - are designed and built in UK. Also large part of
avionics, undercarriages and stuff. So wings, avionics, engines, what else
is there? Actually there is so much work sharing/offsetting to get customer
contracts these days that I think you would be hard put to say that a Boeing
or Airbus comes from anywhere in particular. For example recently Boeing
successfully lobbied a major US defence contract for Air refuelling be
cancelled because it went to Airbus/EADS and therefore abroad, not
patriotic, national security, etc. In fact higher proportion of the work
would have been done in US than in Boeing's proposal (just not by Boeing).

Mike

Of course I grew up in the Pacific NW so must admit that's mostly a
regional pride thing. :-)
