Our view: Not as jumbo as it looks. Thales and its partner NATS (the UK's National Air Traffic Systems) have won the £1.5bn Project Marshall, to upgrade and support the UK military air traffic control system for the next 22 years. The order looks huge, and is, we believe, one of those large upcoming orders about which Thales spoke with such confidence on the Q3 results call, forecasting a strong Q414 book to bill.
