Just to set the record straight,  the Concorde was built as a joint venture
between the British and French aicraft industries.    De Havilland was
basically defunct at the time.
The joint venture was between BAC...British Aircraft Corporation in Weybridge
and the French company Sud Aviation in Toulouse.

Airbus is not a British company.    It is a European company made up of
several suppliers in Britain, France , Germany and probably others.
