STOP PRESS:
Another new development!!!!
As part of the Royal
Aeronautical Scociety and Boeings investment into the BAP project, we have been
assigned a representative to ensure that all is running smoothly on the build
project, both here and in London .
Martin Davey, our representative, noticed that even with both Tim (our
Engineering Development Technician ) and myself, we could certainly use an
extra pair of hands or two. After a short advert in the local Air Workers monthly
flyer, a staggering 18 retired aeronautical engineers applied to volunteer
their services to help out on a regular basis in school. After an initial phone
conversation, four volunteers were selected and we met up with two of them last
week. They have a range of fantastic skills which will benefit the project
immensely from project planning to reporting, build schedule preparation to
hands on fabrication advice. I would like to thank Martin and all the
applicants for their interest and look forward to working closely with the
selected volunteers over the life of the build next year.
