Demise of Woodford and BAe

I agree totally philbky, BAe screwed themselves to the floor when they decided an all military was the answer, and cancelled the only civilian project they had. They got caught with their hands in the till with the never ending escalation cost of the Nimrod which then was, sensibly IMHO, cancelled. The Typhoons days are numbered as again it costs to much and they will be left with another white elephant, the F35, which of course they are only building bits of, not assembling complete airframes.
My only hope is that BAe stays in business long enough to continue to pay my pension until I turn up my toes.
