GSA: Thank you for that tidbit relating to G-FIVE!

A contemporary of Ferranti was the Dutch electronics firm Philips (who have managed to keep going) and who, like Ferranti, used to operate a reasonably well-established CFD (corporate flight department):

As with Ferranti, Philips complimented their fixed-wing fleet with a 'blitterblat' for those all-important short hops!
