The British Isles-based engineering conglomerate was one of Starfleet's key contractors during the 2250s and 60s, taking over the construction of almost all destroyers and scouts by 2265.

Despite it's name and strong British Pedigree, 23rd century Vickers-Armstrongs is actually a conglomerate of Human, Andorian and Tellarite engineering co-operatives financed by rigellian pension funds and a lunar investment project. The name and brand had been bought from the defunct business in the mid 21st century by it's workers, and had survived the third world war as a manufacturer of solar aircraft engines. It had contributed to the D,E and G class freighters commissioned by the Earth Cargo Service.

Vickers-Armstrongs returned to military hardware during the Romulan war, when it was contracted to build parts for Daedalus and later Yorktown class vessels. Post-War it rapidly expanded its civilian construction yards to support the massive growth in traffic in the new UFP. In 2188 it merged with the ailing Tellarite Mechanist Grouping, ensuring it's technically expertise would be retained in one place; the Rolls-Royce brand - long limited to antique cars and hobby engines - returned as a mark of pedigree on next generation fusion engines.

By the 2240s Vickers had eight facilities across four worlds; three on earth, two on Tellar prime and one on Mars, Vulcan and Antares respectively. In 2249 Vickers would take over construction of the Hermes "Achilles" sub-variant, resolving issues with the torpedo roll bar. With Starfleet's main shipyards focusing during and after the war in the reconstruction of the fleet's cruiser force, Vickers was one of the many civilian conglomerates commissioned to help rebuild - and later upgrade the destroyer and scout roster of Starfleet Command.

Vickers Aircraft Construction, 1914-18

Made a new handle for one of Grandad's old tools. Really proud of how snugly it fitted in, just needed a little hammering into the last few millimetres. Handle is perfectly sized for my smallish hands.

The mark says E.S.L. (possibly C), CYCLOPS, Sheffield K, with a V & camel logo.

My mum's family worked in steel and cutlery factories in Sheffield throughout the 20th century. I did a bit of research and found out about the Cyclops steel works built by the Cammell company, later known as Cammell Laird, the famous ship builders.

Eventually, Cammell Laird and Vickers formed the English Steel Corporation. And that's where the file is from.

Anyway, I'm hoping to get to show my grandma what I made because I know she had family working making cutlery handles and we can chat about it all.
