Mr. Sainsbury

Foxhunter radars are being delivered to the Royal Air Force in accordance with the terms and conditions of the firm price contract which was placed with Marconi Defence Systems last year. Bids for the European fighter aircraft nose radar competition have been received from two consortia, both of which include British companies. It is hoped that a decision on the winning consortium will be made early this year.
