Our history

The heritage resource serves as an inspiration to current and future generations, both inside and outside the organisation, demonstrating our key Company values - Trusted, Innovative and Bold - that have been a characteristic of our business for many decades. The Central Archives at Farnborough, together with our centres at other sites and locations throughout the world, provide a key resource for presenting our history and heritage. They are available to both internal and external researchers and enthusiasts alike. Many now feature their own 'Heritage Centres', available for public visitors and we continue to support museums and collections around the world.
