below are some excerpts from the Daily Telegraph from way back in 2015 when all this Brexit fudgery was starting to take shape
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance...-UKs-56bn-aerospace-and-defence-industry.html
Nigel Stein, chief executive of FTSE 100-listed aerospace parts supplier GKN, said: “Industry in the UK is operating on a global stage and EU membership gives it the opportunity to participate in decision-making.”
“The number of UK nationals that are part of the EU institution is diminishing,” said Mr Everitt. “In other EU members the route to success in a civil service career is spending time working in Brussels: in the UK if you go to Brussels you might as well not bother coming back, it’s seen as career suicide.”
"The house would not fall down overnight," said Mr Everitt. "But it would become harder to win inward investment, competing with other nations would become more and more difficult. The combination of our flexible labour market and access to Europe makes us attractive to international investors. We have won 17pc of a market worth $5.6 trillion over the next 20 years and our members want to keep that."

of course it's nothing to do with Brexit, it's all down to the falling Global demand for £700 hot air hand-dryers
