Semantics.

There is nothing semantics about the difference between Toulouse
and Hamburg, or the difference between France and Germany.

However, the original exchange went as such:

Any idea what this could have been? I thought all the big parts of
the 380 were being manufactured in Europe and Great Britain.

In France.

The final assembly is done in Toulouse, but the "big parts"
are produced all over Europe (and actually I believe a few
"fairly large" parts are made in the US as well).

It said "I thought", the usual newsgroup speculation parlance; and
"big parts" are not exactly a technical term for any part of an
airplane
(the completely assembled plane in Toulouse was certainly the
"big part"; and finally the poster singled out Great Britain to be
NOT part of Europe?

I simply made the simple, more explicit correction:

RF In France.

Now it's oconnell's turn to speculate:

The final assembly is done in Toulouse, but the "big parts"
are produced all over Europe (and actually I believe a few
"fairly large" parts are made in the US as well).

"all over Europe"? Can you NAME the countries in Europe?
Of course there's that "I believe" newsgroup parlance for
"I don't know what I am talking about, but that doesn't keep
me from posting".

And where in the USA are those "fairly large" parts of A340 made?

Errr.

"all the big parts of the 380"


was produced in Toulouse, France.

You are a lying, twisting stummer Kopf

A "silent head"? What's that supposed to be?

He is just plain WRONG in making his correction.

Even an IDIOT like him should know that France is in Europe. I was
merely being more precise given the timely report I read in the news
in Hong Kong because the plane landed there!

You tried to correct
that and said it was produced in France. I corrected that, because it's
wrong. That's all.

The statement was "I thought all the big parts of the 380 were being
manufactured in Europe and Great Britain." and that is completely true.
The major parts are manufactured all over Europe and then shipped to
France for final assembly.

Pay attention "Bob".

Besides the fact GB belongs to Europe, although not to the Continent and
not to Schengania.

Perhaps you are both right depending on what you mean by
"produced". The final assembly is done only in France, but
components and assemblies are produced across Europe.

The statement being discussed was "I thought all the big parts of the
380 were being manufactured in Europe and Great Britain." which is
clearly true. Not final assembly but parts manufacturing. It's taking
place in several countries. And that appears to be the source of their
current problems: different design software in different plants that
was incompatible.
