Apprentices flying high with iconic aircraft
The apprentices, who work at top aerospace engineering employers across the North West, saw Concorde and Nimrod, two of the UK’s most historic engineering achievements at an industry best practice visit hosted by Runway Visitor Park.
The sessions for the Themis at Burnley College apprentices included information about the speed and uses of the aircraft, including specialist Maritime Patrol and Attack SONAR plane Nimrod and the famous passengers who once used Concorde in its heyday.
