WELSH CLUBS IN EUROPE PART THREE - AIRBUS UK BROUGHTON

The Wingmakers have one of the most unique names in British football with their origins being a works team where airplanes were made. They were originally called 'Vickers-Armstrong', 'De Havillands', 'Hawker Siddeley', 'British Aerospace' and 'BAE Systems' before in 2007 becoming Airbus UK Broughton. 

They had a fantastic spell in the Welsh Premier from 2013 to 2015 finishing 2nd, 2nd and 3rd qualifying for the UEFA Europa League each time. They were relegated to step two for the 2017/18 season but won the Cymru Alliance in 2018/19 to compete in the top tier for the 2019/20 season - they were bottom of the table up until the suspension of football in March.
