520    "In December 2005, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) published
       its first Defence Industrial Strategy, containing a 
       specific reference to the military fixed wing aircraft 
       sector and a requirement to retain domestic design and 
       engineering capabilities, as well as other skills, to 
       perform through-life activities. In 2009, the House of 
       Commons Defence Committee urged the MOD to "set out what 
       assessment it has made of the health of the UK defence 
       industry and, in particular, those parts of the defence 
       industry where the MOD wishes to retain industrial 
       capability in the UK." The research reported in this 
       monograph was commissioned by the MOD's Fixed Wing Sector 
       Strategy Board to assist the MOD in its development of a 
       strategy and sustainment plan for the military fixed wing 
       sector. The RAND study was conducted between August and 
       December 2009 and focused on the current health and future
       sustainment of key skills in the UK fixed wing military 
       industrial base. This monograph describes the qualitative 
       and quantitative methodologies that the RAND team followed
       and summarises its findings and recommendations."--
