All fair points my friend, but I was referring to conversation rather than any journalistic efforts.
But if the Lightning is a British jet, why is the company that made it named English Electric? 😀

Ah, it’s all clear, so the guys the built the Mustang were Canadians and Mexicans as well as US Citizens! All the people that built the Blenheim had Bristol accents? And The Gladiator’s makers were all from Gloucestershire…

And at the risk of doing a poor Jerry Seinfeld parody, I’d also point out that if your reasoning stands, the jet is neither English or Electric!
What’s up with that?

It isn’t? Stap me.
