Reprieve for BAE Military Air

Perhaps a muted sigh of relief?

Typhoon orders dropping off after less than expected sales in the Middle East so this might help save a few jobs

A major development deal between Britain and France to build the next generation of pilotless combat aircraft took a step forward with the signing of key agreements.

More thrusts to remove the crew though...

It needs a boost. I visited BAE Warton last year even the Typhoon build shed was quiet, there was tumbleweed blowing through other hangars and the Hawk build area was almost deserted. The PR guy (Ex Vulcan Nav) walking us round reckoned the sales teams weren't putting the effort in and were just expecting the frames to sell themselves on reputation whilst other nations were really beating the drum.

Well it sounds like the PR guy and the Sales staff need replacing!

Well it sounds like the ........... Sales staff need replacing!

That was the PR guys view of the sales team, guess the sales boys had the opposite view.

...and a good PR guy would not be telling you his opinion of the sales team!
