You have this great ability not get any point. The point is that the
British made better planes but never sold well.

No, it's you that does not get the point. If the British made better
planes
they WOULD have sold better.

That is not always the case. Many poor products sell well. The VW Beetle
for one. Fine in 1936,46 and maybe 56, but then it was obsolete and bloody
awful. I had a new one for 6 months and hated the antiquated ugly *******.
Yet it sold in the millions.

In the US the local airlines bought US planes because of backup. Getting
parts from the UK to a remote US airport maybe=difficult whereas Boeing
parts are probably on site.

Proves the point. The 1-11 was a
better plane than its eqivs yet sold
well but inferior US planes sold better.

If the One-Eleven was a better plane
than it's competitors it would have
outsold them.

You are not too bright are you?
