Ken,


I do not know if you are still interested in this but I will add to this thread anyway. I have just received British Aircraft Corporation: A History by Charles Gardner and it holds some information that is pertinent to this topic:


1951: John Noble and Roy Hurrell devised a gyro for Thunderbird- supposedly this was the beginning of the Precision Products Group

1960: Stevenage clean room was opened, 'this was a factory without peer in Europe'

1961: License from Northrop for Beryllium gyros for naval applications

1975:BAC bought out the future royalties for the Honeywell license because BAC 'became so well established in the field'
