Well, when Hitler took the rest of Czechoslovakia the next spring, they knew it was on. Hell, they declared war on Germany in September.   Why Britain hard time gearing up plane production I have no idea, but by 1939 there was no question there was gonna be a war - because they declared war.

if the alien drones have not already altered the historical documents, I will try to figure out why more planes weren’t produced

It all seems like some excuse, lets prepare for war, only to not prepare for war and sit on their asses, in Munich they could have revived the Triple Entent plus CZ, they refused to do so because of ideology, the conservative party prefered Hitler over Stalin.

I don't get the last reference.

Taking a look at this, Wm. Morris, Lord Nuffield, of Morris Motors, was a major motor (not aircraft) manufacturer, and also a fascist.  He pretty seriously obstructed the British buildup of aircraft manufacture, which needed to enlist automotive manufacturers.

Nuffield's facility, Castle Bromwich, given to Vickers in 1940, produced 12000 Spitfires over the duration in addition to Lancasters.

Long story short, the fascists and isolationists didn't want to play war.  There was a lot of that in England until shit got real.  Here, too, for that matter.

Key points about the limitations of British war plane production in 1939: 

• Insufficient factory capacity:

  The British aircraft industry had not been geared towards large-scale war production in the years leading up to the war, resulting in a shortage of manufacturing facilities when needed. 

   
• "Shadow Factory" program delays:

  While the "Shadow Factory" program aimed to address the capacity issue, many of these new factories faced initial problems with management, workforce, and production delays, particularly in the early stages of the war. 

   
• Lack of urgency in pre-war planning:

  The British government initially hesitated to fully commit to large-scale aircraft production before the war, leading to a slower start when hostilities began. 

   
• Concentration of factories in vulnerable areas:

  Most aircraft manufacturers were located in southern England, making them susceptible to enemy air raids, further hindering production

For most of my life, I believed most everything I became aware of was included in my dome. The vassitudes of aging have belied that belief. I acknowledge you are known to me, much like the mesquite thorn that overmatched my footwear. Make the most of it among the company of mesquite thorns.

The reason you are the mesquite thorn that has made itself known isn’t due to insecurity. Just the opposite. It is certainty. You are a threat to members of my family. US institutions and medical experts have gone rogue? Fuck you. 

Further, fuck your lily-livered posts on the subject of the alt right and the scourge of turnip as well. You are far more enabler than critic.

That is outstanding.

Gotta admit, Mr. US-led Rules Based International Order responding with this gif to this post, with emphasis on the consistency part, is pretty fucking hilarious.  Thanks for that. 

Come off it. That (the post WWII rules based international order) was at stake 2017, not now. It was worth protecting in my opinion but that’s all over but the crying. That hasn’t been at issue in years. 
This world of 2024 is the world you wanted. It’s Bartertown now. I didn’t want this, but in a way I’ve been waiting my whole life for it, and I guess I don’t understand why you seem so bitter.  
You won! What’s with the attitude?
