I don't understand why the advantage of the deal is that there will be more jobs in Germany. Is this badly writtern or is the MOD pandering to European nations to support their industries? 217.7.209.108 11:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

It does not make any sense....Airbus, partly British or Boeing, not British at all. Given the degree of integration that has been taking place within the European defence industry (Eurofighter, Meteor, MBDA, Stormshadow, A400M etc), the Airbus solution does seem more advantages. Also, more work would be in the UK with NEW aircraft because they will need new wings (UK built) and new Engines (UK built). Matchrthom 19:51, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk pages are only for discussing improvements to the article - not for discussing the issue in general. However since the issue has been raised - What is the alternative? Is there an all-British, modern, large airliner in production that I haven't heard about?? Also a lot of the content of Airbus airliner is British, and a lot of the value is RR engines. The refuelling system is British too. Mark83 20:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
