There is a long history of UK aerospace supporting and enabling US VSTOL starting with Hawkers PS When I started work as an aero eng in the early 1980's my first project was assisting on the type testing the SAMSU for the AV8B at Plessey Aerospace

Pity we flogged the Harrier jets for sweetie money and had nothing to fill the gap... an aircraft carrier with no aircraft isn’t a lot of use

Err, no, it's not. Up to 15% of each F-35 is made by British-owned companies - but most of that work is actually undertaken in the USA (as well as Meth, Australia etc), so provides no UK jobs, no UK IP, no UK revenue.

It is British IP and the revenue will be paid as a dividend to UK shareholders from the Plc

SELEX is a subsidiary of Italian giant Finmeccanica S.p.A., so it's a fair guess that profit (if any) doesn't stay in the UK, and the IP is owned by its parent
