My uncle works at BAE, I'll ask him about it. Though he probably has nothing to do with it.

They don't make all their own stuff. BAE sell quite a bit to the US. More than to anyone else.

They make many of their armoured vehicles, like the Bradley. Loads of other stuff too, like missile warning systems.

They also make various parts for aircraft. My brief time at Brookhouse I was involved in making the door that closes after the wheels retract. Big wow I know...
