As far as I know, Aeroplanes made by Boeing, Macdonald-Douglas (sp?) and
Airbus use inch based fasteners.  All other smaller companies, outside the
US that make computer planes use metric.


We know about Boeing - they are intransigent about this.  Boeing recently
bought McDonnell-Douglas and phased out their production of MD-11's (formerly
DC-10), converting the MD80 (formerly DC-9) into the Boeing 717.  But Airbus?
 Why in God's name is Airbus Industrie, a European concern, building in
wombat??
