very nice.
Yes...there is an airshow somewhere. I think it's the one where they show up where all our money gone just before they throw it in the bin
Do you work at Farnborough??

Just had a look on Google maps looking at the satellite view - I don't recognise the place now & the old IAM site looks as if its been flattened except for the centrifuge ( I worked at the IAM between '73 & '86) FAST have also located most of XL563 & are hoping to re-assemble her.

Haven't seen those two in years, nice to see them again. I'd love to see the A400m too. What type are you in there Pete?

Sorry Ben, can't say exactly, in open forum.I have to abide by company rules, my employer takes customers privacy to the nth degree.
However, it is in the super-midsize business jet category.

Pyestock test halls also been flattened recently. Only 1 left in use by Qinetic.
Seems a bit daft, all that infrastructure paid for by tax payer flattened, then taxpayer coughs up another 35 millions
to build same at Cranfield?
