That's not precisely accurate. A&AEE never merged into or became part of DRA.
A&AEE (Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment)
became (briefly)
A&AEE (Aircraft & Armament Evaluation Establishment)
became (briefly)
DGT&E (Directorate General Test & Evaluation)
became
DTEO (Defence Test & Evaluation Organisation)
became
DERA (Defence Evaluation & Research Agency) - joining DRA etc
became
QinetiQ (losing what became DSTL)
will become...
You forgot "NEW DERA" from the list (between DERA and QQ). Schoolboy error!
