There used to be an advert about Hanson’s…. it went something like this… “A British Company, doing rather well over there” ! Long may it continue…. # Global Britain.
I think it was “a company from over here, that’s doing quite nicely over there”. But it’s true we have our little thumb prints all over the shop and some places you really wouldn’t believe.
Yes, it sounds right….. it was a while back though !😄
Well done BAe another British company doing business overseas in a very competitive market.
Before all the knockers, Trolls and PC Brigade wade in I’ll just say this “Loud and Proud but not perfect”.
Despite decades of U.K Government incompetence, ignorance and lethargy the Defence Industry is actually still alive and doing quite nicely.
UK Industry, Technology and innovation has resulted in many successful businesses that provide parts or designs for Aircraft, Ships, Submarines, AFV, Guns, Missiles, Satellites and Spacecraft that are in service or being built world wide.
Rolls Royce, BAe, Babcock, BMT, Martin Baker, Ultra, Cobham, Thales UK, Sheffield Forge masters are all alive and doing quite nicely thank you.
BAe US are rapidly becoming one of the largest contractors to the US Dept of Defence.
Yup…… The UK is still open for Business and doing rather well actually …..despite all the Moaners efforts. You know who you are !!!!😎
I’m a Remainer and this Govt has allowed some crown jewels to be sold off. Would you not agree?
Selling off the crown Jewells would be my sort of thing as long as it was all given to the poor…… In fact, I’d happily vote for this wealth sharing over any current Elite governments wealth Grab….
All very true.
Worth a thought that whatever you may say about them a defence industrial strategy has been quietly bubbling away under Williamson and then Wallace.
Trying to repair the illiterate mess that Spreadsheet Phil left behind.
Things like the National Ship Building Strategy are super important to driving costs down.
Is this contract more just that BAE America branch bought the companies that make the products?
This defence companies do the U.K. proud. Great products.
What are all those things cluttering up the Deck ? …. why do we not have them ?…..😂😂😂
That is such a yesterday concept – aircraft don’t belong on aircraft carriers. Ideally you never fly the aircraft at all and they sit in a nice warm hangar.
Keeps the accountants happy – no wear and tear.
Jokes…..
So the RN have been doing this correctly these past 6 years and the Accountants are happy…. Ha…. love your thinking mate !
Oh here we go again… those triffic people at BAE. How about they donate some kit to Ukraine? Missiles, artillery shells, CV90’s… Christ knows they make enough money from the arms industry!
