Doncasters is a British firm, as was P&O. Doncasters has these operations in the US ...

Most of those businesses are unrelated to defense, e.g., industrial turbine and turbocharger rotors, and the medical one. I don't know how the cash flow and other particulars break out among these operations and the rest of Doncasters. Doncasters is an international operation, and as noted in my previous, it is possible in principle to part out the company.

The Doncasters website is pretty informative - at least as a place to start fact gathering.

I suspect there are some unintended consequences if "we" aim to consign foreign (UAE/Arab/Chinese/Russian/etc.) investment to only service and entertainment sectors.

Imagine such financial idiots as to want representation in leading edge technologies. They should be satisfied with tube tvs and the Stanley Steamer shouldn't they?
