1985 Morning Telegraph newspaper clipping about Lonrho bid controversy affecting British Airways privatization

A newspaper clipping from the Sheffield Morning Telegraph dated June 17, 1985, with the headline 'Fury over Lonrho bid'. The article discusses a major controversy in the Tory party over Lonrho's move to disrupt the British Airways sell-off, written by political staff reporter Will Stewart. This reflects the turbulent period of airline privatization during the 1980s when Sir Freddie Laker's collapsed airline empire continued to impact the aviation industry.
