Through this divestment, Thales reinforces its strategic focus on 3 long-term high technology growth markets: Aeronautics & Space, Defense & Security, and Cybersecurity & Digital Identity. ​

Presumably doing very nicely from "issues" in eastern Europe.

I've just spotted that my post of yesterday went in as an edit on the previous one for October. Presumably I clicked on "Modify" by mistake instead of "Quote" - easy enough to do; less so undo it afterwards.
It IS theoretically possible for me to dig through backups for up to a week after a post has been altered and restore the content.  But it may/would take significant time for an individual post, especially (as I am for this week) from a slow partial connection away from home.   Please advise if this is a key post that 'cannot' be lost ...
Hardly!

No problem, stuving - I think several of us have probably done that, over the years. I certainly have, on at least one occasion.  Roll Eyes

And at long ... very long ... last, both Thales and Hitachi have announced completion. This process started nearly three years ago, and has ended in a way that reminds me of Dudley Moore's "Beethoven" sonata.

For those of our readers who were intrigued (as I was) by stuving's reference to this, here is a link to youtube: see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GazlqD4mLvw&ab_channel=jondinerstein

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
