Despite a record breaking wet April and start of May, the south east is still apparently in offiical draught. What this means to me is plenty of cancelled flights-my solo cross-country flight being put back 3 weeks due to weather! As always I live in hope, I'm sure the sun will make an appearance this side of Christmas! Anyway its been a good opportunity catch up with university assignments and also attend a few trips here and there. One such was a visit to BAMC British Airways Maintenance Cardiff- to oversee the work that goes on there. All of the British Airways longhaul fleet of aircraft are maintained at this base, with a variety of Boeing 747 and 777 aircraft going through different checks whilst we visited. A thoroughly enjoyable day, learnt lots and met some amazing people. It was a fantastic opportunity to get 'up close and personal' with these flying machines and gain a real insight into the operation of them.
