Agreed. And there was no sign of large-scale UK investment in the RB.106 or its growth variants.


A.V. Roe Canada Ltd. was a subsidiary of Hawker Siddeley Group while Orenda Engines was an Avro Canada subsidiary. Obviously, that keeps a new Orenda powerplant 'in-house'.


The 1953 decision to develop the PS.13 Iroquois sprang from senior management at A.V. Roe Canada Ltd. That makes sense but it also suggests that the Avro Canada bosses were already aware that all was not well with Rolls-Royce's RB.106 programme.
