Our visit to BAE SYSTEMS |
|
The ‘WEB AUTHORS’, a group of year 7 (12 year olds) students from Winifred Holtby Technology College all met up at approximately 8:45 on Wednesday April 11th, with their teacher, Mr Holland. We were all very excited. We arrived at the Brough site at 9:30 and were given our identification badges. We were taken to the Blackburn room and given name badges so the people could identify us more easily. Tony Arksey then welcomed us to BAE SYSTEMS and we watched a heritage video. Neil Milne and Peter Boid then gave us a presentation on the Blackburn Monoplane. We had a coffee break were we had cans of coca cola and biscuits. We gave a Powerpoint presentation telling the people at Brough about our work, which went very well. We then went down to the part of the factory where the replica is being built and we met the rest of the Blackburn Monoplane team. We had lunch in the Wolds restaurant which was superb. After lunch we had a presentation on Health and Safety and were given a pair of goggles and a pair of ear protectors. We were split up, a group of us stayed and helped make the wing, others went to the Heritage Center, whilst others did research on the BAE Intranet after a while we swapped over and others helped make part of the monoplane. We think everybody involved had a great day. |
