> Firstly as the CEO of Airbus talks about the possibility for needing to leave the UK. Which is ironic as the UK component started as a division of Hawker-Siddely, before the UK had even joined the EEC. HS managed to participate in the design process and ship wings to Toulouse before there was any free market... Which annoyed the Belgians and Germans whose design teams consistently lost the internal wing supply competitions against HS ( later British Aerospace ). Somehow Airbus can rely on suppliers in the USA and Canada, and run assembly lines in China, but not post-Brexit UK? No, it's just internal corporate geopolitics. Finally Germany has a chance to cut the UK out of Airbus.
