Outstanding 4th quarter Underlying earnings up to $3.06 per share. 2018 looking for too, with an all time high backlog of 5864 commercial aircraft orders.Counting today's pre-marketing rise of 5%, I'm 115% up on my purchase of these just over a year ago. Wish my timing was always this good. Don't think I'll be taking profits, although might look again in April when I have access to 2018-19's CGT exemption.

Picked up a few 3.6% yield looked tempting, very progressive divi policy, 2.33 PEG, with possibility of capital gains as well, so picked up 130 of these at $156.
