I suspect I know why he wouldn’t expand on his assertions, but would like to hear it from someone who was there maybe?
The 146 was a De Havilland so they called that an Avro, the 125 was a de Havilland also but they called that a Hawker, the Jetstream was a Handley Page whilst the 748 an Avro so they called the ATP a Jetstream ... And people wonder why British aircraft manufacturing went down the pan!
