Thanks RibbleWader, those dates from the website are Record dates (day after ex-div) so they tally with my #3037. Any chance you could change header again to match, so readers aren't confused?

[ribblewader] 07/8/2020 07:48

[bluemango] 06/8/2020 16:58

RibbleWader - where on the website are you getting that divi info?

I would go by the dates given in the 30th July results for now (only a week ago), which state:

13.8p paid 14 Sept, ex-div 6 Aug, and 9.4p paid 30 Nov, ex-div 22 Oct.

[ribblewader] 06/8/2020 15:44

Header updated with Divi Dates, the BAE web site shows a different payment schedule to the RNS dated 30 July. I would not be suprised if the 2020 interim payment date moves to November. Total payment of 23.2p per share

[bluemango] 06/8/2020 08:31

Ex-div today on previously deferred final dividend 13.8p.
