meh ... Australia went through this 50 years ago
- end of WWII building homegrown fighters and other aircraft
- by Korea for political reasons shutdown local aircraft design and just license building Mustangs (even though a home grown fighter outperformed the Mustang) and Sabers instead.
- by 1960's building a small part only of the Dassault Mirage IIIs for the RAAF
- downhill ever since
at least we have started to build and export ultralight and GA aircraft again
