Tally-ho, chocks away, and jolly good show: The UK’s new Tempest fighter
jet will be a decidedly British affair. In July, the UK’s Ministry of
Defense announced its new jet will be developed almost exclusively on
British soil. The Brits hope the airplane will exhibit the country's
military prowess even as it exits the European Union, and as its
traditional defense partners and longtime allies in the United States back
into isolationism.

The same was said about the much-ballyhooed TSR-2...

But one at least flew, only to be shotdown by politics...
