Re: Seeking Test Gear.
Assuming it's the same company....Following their plunge into liquidation there appears to have been a question asked in the house of lords regarding Leonardo's* disposal of eqpt. to UES&S.
(Leonardo being defence/security/aerospace contractors to the MoD) and the sale of chattels in Feb 2019 was mysteriously cancelled. George Hazell & co. were due to be the auctioneers. It's not looking good.. |

To be honest - I'd never heard of them, either as someone who designed/oversaw-manufacture-of quite a bit of RF-gear to various Government agencies, or someone who bought similar stuff for my ham-radio interest. |

Re: Seeking Test Gear.
Some info, pictures for the cancelled auction were posted on eevblog, there was also a youtube video but it got taken down as it was giving people motion sickness.
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testge...-test-gear-fs/ Sadly the gutter press reported it was all sensitive military equipment & parts that might get into the wrong hands (was actually mostly old test equipment) and the sale got cancelled.
