Re: Not completely stupid

'you have to wonder how the British government have backed themselves into a corner of having no domestic ability to originate a modern combat aircraft'

At some point it actually became UK Govt policy that we would not develop indigenous combat aircraft but only do so as part of a multi-national conglomerate. I have no idea who thought this was a good idea.
