Human-cost band
not a war -- a firm; human cost sits in the wars and programmes that bought the products
Public cost is overrun hearings, yard closures, and the ethics file. War dead sit on the war pages of customer states.
Saudi and other export politics have a human ledger that inquiries only partly captured -- stay in documented ranges and public findings.
Bands
Dated span (1999 merger (British Aerospace 1977; ancestor yards and works far older))
BAE Systems is taught as 1999 merger (British Aerospace 1977; ancestor yards and works far older). 1910s-40s and 2020s are the usual poles.
Theatre (UK yards and works; Saudi and US export.)
UK yards and works; Saudi and US export politics; Australian and other partner plants is the geography of the ledger -- cities, seas, plants, or ministries as the file requires.
Privatisation
1981-85: Thatcher-era sale.
UK carrier yard story
2010s: Industrial geography of a fleet decision.
Regions
UK yards and works

US / UK / AU / CA classrooms
BAE Systems appears in English as a procurement or export-hearing name, not as a civic museum story.
Korean comparative reader
BAE Systems is read beside Yulgok, Hanwha, and ROK procurement history: a type or firm in a conscript-alliance state, not a live ORBAT.

A prime's jobs map is real and is not a moral blank cheque.
