I'm on a bit of an aviation kick so here's another POD.
In 1946 the British Labour Government sold the Rolls Royce Nean engine to the Soviet Union. This was the most advanced jet engine in the world at the time and the USSR promptly reverse engineered it and used that copy to power the Mig-15. Most Soviet aircraft engines were devoloped from the origional Nean copies. Prior to this sale the only Soviet jet engines were powered by copies of the German Junkers and BMW engines captured in WWII. These were underpowered and primitive which made 1st generation Soviet jets like the Mig-19 and Yak-15 less capable then British and American jets of the late '40s.
What are the effects of Labour never allowing the sale of Nean engines n 1946? What are the effects on Soviet aviation and the Cold War?
Edit: Title should be sell not see. sorry
