    They won’t need to swap them, the car manufacturers will be relocating to the continent...

    Aviation regulators are due to issue a statement detailing the impact the latest development with the engine will have on airlines flying Dreamliners. It is thought that some could have their ability to fly long distances over water or remote areas curtailed from the current maximum of 330 minutes' flying time to the nearest airport to as 140 minutes', putting restrictions on some airlines' abilities to operate some routes."

    Think I'll be careful about sourcing flights going forward.

    There will be 3 major trading blocks usa, china and europe even after UK leave the EU.

    Everyone else will be small fish in a big pond begging for trade deals and just taking whatever they are given.
