  Hawker-Siddeley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hawker Siddeley was a group of UK aircraft manufacturing companies formed as a result of the merger of Hawker Aircraft with Armstrong-Siddeley.
Almost every Hawker Aircraft design of the Second World War was a success (even if not initially) mainly attributable to the design genius of Sidney Camm (later Sir Sidney) and the team he worked with.
Hawker and de Havilland merged in 1959, followed by Blackburn Aircraft, Avro (along with Avro Canada) and Whitworth (already part of Hawker), Folland and Gloster over the next year, forming the Hawker Siddeley Group.

The Hawker De Havilland Severance pay agreement that was certified by yourself in March 1999 was basically what had been the unregistered agreement for some 10 years with the addition of a process to deal with a mix and match once employees had been identified as selection for redundancy.
As I understand it Mr Horsley seeks an undertaking that industrial action not be happening or threatening or probable yet on the other hand it is very clear that industrial action certainly is not happening.
MR HORSLEY: Your Honour, perhaps it is prudent by pointing out that in relation to the offer that the company has provided there have, in fact, been a number of concessions and improvements made to the terms and conditions of severance arrangements.

 The Royal Air Force in the 1930s H-V   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Of all the Hawker types designed by Sir Sydney Camm in the 1930s, the two seat light day bomber Hart proved one of the most adaptable after its performance was found to be superior to RAF fighters of the day.
The superior speed of the Hawker Hart over contemporary RAF fighters upon its service debut quickly led to the conception of a Hart Fighter (as it was originally known) or as designer Sydney Camm put it "A Hart to catch a Hart".
It was then purchased by Hawker Aircraft in 1950 to form the Hawker House trio, with a Hurricane and Hart, and was painted in a smart dark blue and gold paint scheme.

The new aircraft were in Danish service given the name Hawker Dantorp, or H.B. That only two aircraft were purchased was a clear recognition of the fact that dropping torpedoes was something quite new, which had to be tested thoroughly, before such a weapon could be used operationally.
Two Hawker NIMROD Mk II aircraft were purchased in England and a further ten build under license at the Naval Dockyard during 1934-35.
Naval Air Flotilla, now with 12 Hawker NIMROD (L.B.V) on strength, was in 1937 transferred to the new Naval Air Station Avnø, and Naval Air Station Ringsted was closed.

 The History of ROLLS ROYCE at HUCKNALL
The first aircraft to arrive was a Hawker Horsley J8001 on the 16th September 1931 from Farnborough.
The first new aircraft to arrive at Hucknall was another Hawker Hart K1102.This was an evaporative-cooled installation,which completed only 18 hours of flying so-cooled before its Kestrel 11s engine was replaced by a Glycol cooled Kestrel VI.
By this time Rolls Royce were beginning to put into practice some of the new theories of radiator and subsequent pipe work had to be built into the installations and streamlined to create as little drag as possible.

The Buccaneer is a mid-wing aircraft; its appearance is determined by an area-ruled fuselage, circular engine bays flanking the fuselage, a bulged rotating bomb bay door, and a T-tail.

However, the Vimy and Eastchurch were to enjoy only a short association with 100 Squadron - in July of the same year the squadron moved back to Spitalgate and re-equipped once more, this time with the Fairey Fawn.
The squadron stayed with the Fawn, and at Spitalgate, for the best part of two years, until June 1926, when they moved to Weston Zoyland in Somerset, converting to the Hawker Horsley at the same time.
In early January 1934, the sqaudron was posted overseas again, for the first time since it had served in France in the First World War.
