Pretty mediocre share price reaction for what some are claiming is the deal of the century lol. Wonder how much will come to BAE of the £20B.Might check the current share price weakness mind :-)

Fangorn2 - Some great news for BA. their order pipeline growing day by day :-)

I know it's an incredibly pedantic point but shouldn't "Assault Amphibious Vehicles" be correctly written as "Amphibious Assault Vehicles" we are talking about "Assault Vehicles" of which there are many types, so the word amphibious doesn't sit well in the middle.

Just thought I would say that, I'll leave it to others to give the grammatical justification haha. (Or not as the case may be haha)

Don't think a lifetime career on a production line would be good for job security looking ahead.
Unless the line made robotic components....

Only reason I can think of is T May causing doubt over UK defence spending. Fwiw it looks oversold to me, if that is the case.

HMS Queen Elizabeth 'Ready To Roam' After Refueling At Sea For First Time

[fangorn2] 21/6/2018 20:25

Melrose Industries was sent lower along with other defence suppliers after Prime Minister Theresa May was reported to have questioned the Ministry of Defence's spending plans. May told defence secretary Gavin Williamson he needed to rethink what was needed by modern armed forces and appeared to question the UK’s position as a 'tier one' military power, the Financial Times reported, sending shockwaves through the MoD.

Shares in BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce were down in the FTSE 100, along with several of the sector's mid-caps.
