Plant 42 is owned by the United States Air Force and operated as a component of Edwards Air Force Base, which is 23 mi (37 km) northeast. Most of its facilities are operated by private contractors to build and maintain military aircraft and their components for the United States and its allies.
Plant 42 has 3,200,000 square feet (300,000 m2) of industrial space and a replacement value of $1.1 billion. Some of its facilities build aircraft, including the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk and other unmanned aircraft. Others maintain and modify aircraft such as the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit bomber. Aerospace contractors at Air Force Plant 42 share a runway complex, and either lease building space from the Air Force (an arrangement commonly referred to as a "GOCO", or government-owned, contractor-operated) or own their own buildings outright (e.g., Lockheed Martin Skunk Works). There are eight production sites specially suited for advanced technology and/or "black" programs. Currently, the most well-known contractors at Plant 42 are Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman.
Watch out for patch retailers claiming there are currently shipping backlogs due to "staff shortages" at delivery firms like royal mail. This isnt true, they are simply drop shippers who only order something in after you've paid, and are essentially laying the groundwork to pass off the blame when you're left waiting LONG DELAYS for your items. EVERYTHING I SELL IS CURRENTLY IN UK STOCK with me.
Any questions please ask.
Please note buyer is responsible for any custom duties and taxes for sales outside UK.
USA buyers please contact me for shipping quotes as ebay has suspended USA from the Global Shipping Program due to ever changing tariffs. Shipping manually via a Royal Mail tracked service is cheaper anyway.
If, for any reason, you encounter an issue, contact me immediately before leaving negative feedback as I will always try to help out.
