Just BTW:
– Virgin Orbit is purely US company, not UK company!
– the plane was modified in US, not UK!
– the rocket is manufactured in US, not UK!
– from the get-go the whole launch system is designed to be rapidly and easily transportable along with any and all require infrastructure.
– They have 4 successful ORBITAL launches under belt and now 3 failures, which is not great but not terrible for a “new” company. (Problem is that they took long and may not have a sound business case anymore.)

Overall there is NO achievement whatsoever in launching from UK soil (btw. they were much closer to Ireland at deploy) other than overcoming UK’s bimbocracy and US’s ITAR (which in all honesty just might be the hardest thing they have done ever).
