Decisions[edit]

Interesting to see how decisions made by politicians and other people high-up back in the 1950s-1960s have contributed to the decline in the UK aviation industry, to the extent that what was once a leading contributor to the aviation field is now in a sorry state.

If one were of a suspicious nature one could be forgiven for thinking that that's a situation the people involved were deliberately trying to achieve. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.251.60 (talk) 15:30, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
