In the aerospace industry we are having problems getting mil spec parts and also US made parts. When we sell an avionics box to the military we have to buy a lifetime supply of spare parts.

Just finished up a project for the British Royal Air Force. If they buy the box from us and we buy some of the parts from over seas the supply chain is getting stretched pretty long.

You would think the British would have learned a lesson from WWII when we had to send them hand guns.
