"Spiv" wrote in message ... Most rationing, about 90% plus was gone by 1951. So, then, your previous statement, that all rationing was abandoned by 1951, was wrong. Is that what you're trying to say? |

"Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ... Canada was an independent nation by then which declared war independently on Germany. I see your continued use of the word 'colony' to describe them as a studied insult of people who were loyal friends and allies. I don't think that's why he calls Canada a colony. I think he truly believes Canada was a British colony during WWII. After all, if Spiv is anything, he is stupid. |

"Spiv" wrote in message ... Not so. Independence in 1948, 1959 Well, which is it? 1948 or 1959? Never mind, I'll give you the answer. Canada achieved complete independence from Britain in 1931, after the passage of The Statute of Westminster, 1931. |

"Spiv" wrote in message ... That is true, yet they didn't need to go 100% self sufficiency in food, as they could import it when the U boast were suppressed. Good thing. As 100% self-sufficiency in food was impossible. |

"Spiv" wrote in message ... Yes. Independence in 1948, for most of Canada and Newfoundland in 1959. No. Canada achieved complete independence from Britain in 1931. Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949. 100% correct. Oh really? Well, if you're 100% right, it means the collective memories of millions of people and much recorded history are wrong. Not in the early part. Not in any part. |

And a much better attempt at a jet airliner than the parent company's effort.

"Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ... Britain was pretty much self sufficient with regard to infantry weapons and artillery but relied heavily on US supplied tanks , trucks and armoured cars. The air force relied totally on US production for its transport aircraft , a large percentage of its long range maritime patrol aircraft and the RN was reliant on US produced fighters on its carrier force Yes. I know. The RAF also acquired a fair number of US fighters. |
