I'll bet to most people it's just another daft made up corporate name they will quickly forget and in a month will associate with nothing at all. I only know of them because my parents have just moved to within a few hundred yards of their Malvern site. A government "agency", but whose money was it that actually paid for all this hot air... or should that be helium.? !! Steve QinetiQ is no longer a government agency. It represents the part of the former DERA that was privatised, and is now part of the Carlyle Group IIRC. So it won't have been public money that was spent. -- John Hall "One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other." From "Emma" by Jane Austen (1775-1817) |
