In a vague attempt for accuracy (with the unlikely effect of improving Messybeast
PR), it should be pointed out that PHOENIX was a GEC product. Yes folks, there was a competition between Ferranti and GEC, which GEC won.
When BAe bought the defence side of GEC-Marconi (because that moron Simpson wanted to destroy the rest of the firm, and needed to readies to overpay for stuff at the top of the tech bubble) they inherited Phoenix.
Blame the people who gave you Foxhunter and Nimrod AEW...
