Stephanie Carr, the spouse of the man who was named BAE's chairman back in October 2013, bought the shares on Friday at an average price of 493.26p each, for a total value of £199,997.20.

Last Thursday, BAE said full-year profits would be slightly lower due to the coronavirus pandemic, but expected a good second half as it reinstated dividend payments.

The company said annual earnings per share would be a mid-single-digit percentage lower than last year's result of 45.8 pence and also reinstated a 13.8p-a-share £460m payout deferred from April and declared an interim dividend of 9.4p a share.

As of 1630 BST, BAE shares were down 0.29% at 488.80p.
