Interesting.
DERA sorry QinetiQ hold many of our history in the form of photo negatives. So far we have heard nothing about any disposal policy. This may be because we are not part of DERA/QinetiQ/DSTL. But have been a lodger unit on the site since 1946! This poses the question, what valuble archive material will be skipped from units that have lived on RAE/DERA sites, but who are no longer there, or no longer part of the DERA set up?

Do I hear the underlying cause of being yet again money??? Now being a private company, it eats far too much into the directors bonus to spend money of none profatable marginal activities like preserving our valuable history!
