Europe doesn't have "a problem". It has THREE problems: 3 European nations are suffering from a severe "post-imperial hangover". First, there is the United Kingdom, a nation that voted for Brexit to "take back control" only to realize it has completely forgotten how to drive.

Rear-crew evacuation test on a Vulcan - in anti-flash white so no later than 1963 Probable demonstration of the ‘whoopee cushion’ assisted escape seats retrofitted to the fleet I guess another AEOp standing by in the spare seat as I understand Vulcans couldn’t fly without one?
