Well ive stated my views on the BAE/ MOD situation so im not going to repeat them again. About BAES not being a British company. I once worked for a large British food manufacturing company which bought the second largest US food manufacturer in their industry. Im not talking about a small burger joint here im talking about a US company with billion's of dollars in turnover. Within 2 years they had run the company into the ground and then sold it off at a loss.

What I have found about British companies is that they simply do not work suscessfully outside the UK. Things like the above you can read in newspapers every week. Now I can only imagine what will soon happen to BAES's US business where they do not have a monopoly on new equipment
