Shirley Concorde is only half British?

The engines were British designed and built.

The rest (with the exception of the name), which is just the container
the engines come in, was jointly designed and built with the French.

The name was 100% designed and built by the French.

87.5% of the name was jointly designed and built; the final 12.5% was
100% added by the French
