BAE Systems (2006): SFO / Al-Yamamah public years
[128] [more-bae-systems-28] BAE Systems is the record of 2006 under “SFO / Al-Yamamah public years.” The figure to read with it is 10. Do not arrange states in a league. Fix who moved what, and where, to that year. Do not add a later war into the same total. Thatcher-era sale of BAe -- the political preface.
From British Aerospace and Marconi Electronic Systems to the 1999 prime -- a firm history of Typhoon, yards, and export hearings. British Aerospace + Marconi Electronic Systems UK yard work; Astute / carrier partner stories Hawk trainer and later partnership news -- procurement footnotes
BAE Systems is a 30 November 1999 letterhead: British Aerospace (itself a 1977 nationalisation-era merger of Hawker Siddeley, BAC, and Scottish Aviation) plus Marconi Electronic Systems, the defence electronics cut from GEC. Behind those names sit Vickers, de Havilland, Avro, and yard towns that built the Royal Navy's industrial memory. This page is that firm history -- not a product guide and not a how-to for any ship, jet, or munition.
The English public file is split: Typhoon as a European industrial politics, the Queen Elizabeth-class carrier as a yard-and-alliance story, and the Al-Yamamah / Serious Fraud Office years as the export-ethics hearing. Richard Evans, John Weston, Mike Turner, Ian King, and Charles Woodburn are the successive public chiefs. Margaret Thatcher's privatisation of British Aerospace (1981-85) is the political preface.
Say BAE Systems with 2006, “SFO / Al-Yamamah public years,” and 10. The figure is not a national score.2006
