Enjoyed the 777 - think we were one of the first onboard and it was good to sit in the pilot's seat and see the crew rest area. Enjoyed inflating a lifejacket as well!

Best bit was seeing that my hands are warm and my daughter's hands are cold 😅

Concorde always a joy but a shame we couldn't go onboard any more.

I enjoyed the event and it was clear that as a recruitment event for engineering students it would be really useful. Sadly no LPGS though !!
Yes, I went with my wife and grandson and spent a couple of hours there (and a hundred quid on some model). Really enjoyable morning and some really interesting stands if you could get past the students…

Definitely glad I went. Seeing Concorde up close was amazing. I flew it quite a lot when it was in service but when you stand on the ground and look at the size of the engines; just amazing
