My understanding was that everything coming out of Airbus was fully

I know there is a significant number of parts made in the UK, but I

correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you are probably correct, Mike, but if the US placed an order
with Airbus and the order specified Ye Olde English units, I think
Airbus might try to accommodate their Olde English customers be making
it to Olde English specifications. After all, it would be worth a
couple Giga-bucks to them!
I hope it is indeed all metric but I would not jump to that
conclusion. I'd like to get some confirmation of that before I
celebrate.
