I am a nervous flyer and looking at the flexion on that wing would have me calling for a large brandy.

I wish it well though as it is, apparently, 25% British

That was how the news of this flight was broadcast on Radio 2 today. ie It was the first flight of a new airliner today which is 25% British...

I can still remember the days when we could build 100% of an aircraft..

MOD and DXP::::::::::::::

Many of the 787s will have RR engines, too!

And EYE still remember when the USA made
100% of ITS aircraft -- No Longer!

The World is Watching the 787!

US and UK had better hope she flies!
