  2. Not royalties, he was an employee. But in 1996 the Sterling Armament Company sued the British Government for breach of licence. And the judge awarded half the compensation Patchett. Who received £116,975 (£2.32 million as of 2024).

  3. Nearly all Lanchesters went to the RN, with a few going to the RAF. The Army got Stens because they were cheaper and lighter.

  5.  @CameronMcCreary  Darn, you're right. Patchett died in 1974. So the award went to his surviving family.
