Anything with the red and white logo BAESYSTEMS seems to be a tainted brand!
It would be nice to see the names of Hawker, DeHavilland, AVRO, Handley-Page, etc... all make a come back. It has certainly worked for MINI in recent years - we should be proud of the heritage, just not the monster that it has become in the past 20 years.
Ferranti, Thorn, Marconi, Plessey, English Electric, British Thompson Houston, Vulcan Foundry, Vickers SEL, Mirlees, Davey-Paxman, Napier, and countless other British engineering companies that were murdered or emasculated by GEC
The GEC management legacy is the problem within BAE Systems - not the BAe traditions.
