    Must be very miserable especially with the low temperatures and with more heavy rain in the forecast throughout the UK.

    A woman has died after being swept away in the floods near Matlock and the BAE nuclear plant in Derby has been closed.

    This I assume -
    26 Feb 2019 - BAE Systems has been awarded a £235 million contract by Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson to support submarine nuclear propulsion systems.

    The multi-million-pound deal with Rolls-Royce Submarines will provide the support, advice and material required to ensure the continued safety and availability of the systems on board the current fleet of Trafalgar, Vanguard and Astute class submarines until 2022. The contract will sustain around 500 UK jobs.

    During the visit to Rolls-Royce’s site in Raynesway, Derbyshire, the Defence Secretary also announced that HMS Warspite will be the name of third Dreadnought submarine.'
