Son, no offense meant, but you're making a complete idiot out of
yourself in this thread.

You made a wrong statement (namely that all large Airbus parts are
produced in France).


Why don't you CITE that alleged statement of mine?


Here it is:

Someone posted:

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

And you said: "In France."

Wrong. Now here are the facts:

http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=29

"Apart from the prime contractors in France, Germany, the United
Kingdom and Spain, components for the A380 airframe are also
manufactured by industral partners in Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Canada, Finland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Netherlands,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. A380 final assembly is
taking place in Toulouse, France, with interior fitment in Hamburg,
Germany."

So major components ("all large parts") are made in France, Germany, UK
and Spain. Not just in France as you posted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A380#Production

"Major structural sections of the A380 are built in France, Germany,
Spain, and the United Kingdom."

Ooops, more proof you're wrong.

Further: "The front and rear sections of the fuselage are loaded on an
Airbus RORO ship, Ville de Bordeaux, in Hamburg in northern Germany,
whence they are shipped to the United Kingdom.[29] The wings, which are
manufactured at Filton in Bristol and Broughton in north Wales, are
transported by barge to Mostyn docks, where the ship adds them to its
cargo."

There's Hamburg which got you all upset.

It goes on: "In Saint-Nazaire in western France, the ship trades the
fuselage sections from Hamburg..."

Damn, "fuselage sections from Hamburg"

"...for larger, assembled sections, some of which include the nose. The
ship unloads in Bordeaux. Afterwards, the ship picks up the belly and
tail sections by Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA in Cadiz in southern
Spain, and delivers them to Bordeaux."

My goodness. Belly and tail sections built in Spain.

Several people corrected you, since that statement
is wrong. That's all that happened.


Next to Tchiowa, you are the SECOND worst posters about
facts on the A380 in this thread.


Both of us along with pretty much everyone else on the group *except*
you were completely right.

Live with it. Neither you nor anyone else corrected me on
MY statements, or those of the news reporter.

I consulted the internet dictionary on acronyms for your EDDH.

There was none, but i did find the appropriate ones for YOU,
on ED and DH, when put together, they stand for:

EDDH: Emotionally Disturbed Dick Head.

For ED, See: http://www.gaarde.org/acronyms/?lookup=E
For DH, See: http://www.gaarde.org/acronyms/?lookup=D

Very apt acronym for yourself, Thomas Borchert. :-)


How old are you, "Bob"? About 12?
