Why exclude aircraft engines?

Aren't aircraft engines always a problem in these discussions, because
they undermine the belief that the UK doesn't make anything, doesn't
export anything and has no engineering capabilities, which is all the

mothers/etc]. It is easier to ignore them, and/or think the company
makes niche luxury cars instead.
