Roadshow Update - Friday 2 October

The European Defence & Aerospace Manufacturing Technology Roadshow visited BAE Systems Aerosystems International in Yeovil on Friday 2nd October. There was a good turn out from a number of the departments at the site. The Trenton Systems 19" Rackmount embedded computing systems and the VersaLogic EBX format single board computers were the solutions of most interest. The Sarsen Technology sarsen stone/rock giveaways are still proving popular. Yeovil is a town dominated by helicopter technology and businesses focussed on that market. The Friday afternoon drive home was made more enjoyable by listening to the new CD compilation provided by Darren Taylor at BittWare. Thanks again Darren!

European Defence & Aerospace Manufacturing Technology Roadshow 2009 - Week 2

The roadshow has visited Roke Manor Research in Romsey, BAE Systems in Farnborough and Lockheed-Martin in Havant this week. Tomorrow it is Thursday so it must be GE Aviation in Cheltenham and on Friday it is BAE Systems Aerosystems International in Yeovil. This week the locations are very convenient for Sarsen as they are all about an hours drive north, south, east and west from Marlborough. Nigel's car sustained some damage returning from Goodrich last Friday. A tyre was punctured and then a truck ran over the jack whilst the wheel was being changed which resulted in the nearside wing mirror being ripped off. It could have been a lot worse but not the best way to end a long working week!
