Climbing out from a very snowy Cranfield University after saying hello ATI Cranfield Aerospace Solutions

A good visit to the Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill in Derby. Some great exhibits and exhibitions not least the Rolls-Royce section. Up to date with some info on the Spirit of Innovation too.

Prepping up our next episode. Do you know what the link is between James Bond and Cranfield Aerospace Solutions ? Listen in on Sunday #avgeek #hydrogen #flight #aviation #carbonzero #cranfield Britten-Norman


The BN-2 Islander at Cranfield Aerospace Solutions is the same airframe #JamesBond flew in #Spectre, crashing it and ripping off the wheels & wings! Needlesstosay that didnt happen and she is safely in the hangar having her #hydrogen power plant installed. Hear about it here: aviation-xtended.co.uk/ep-164-hydroge…


It is great to be able to work so closely with the UK’s hardworking network of Embassies and Consulates. A pleasure to welcome British Embassy Oslo 🇬🇧🇳🇴 and UK in Finland 🇬🇧🇫🇮 to Cranfield with delegations from both countries.

Good to catch-up with aviation and aerospace friends and colleagues at the Clean Aviation conference. #CAForum2023 First visit to Brussels in a while!


We spoke to Flightradar24 on the #AvTalk podcast last week about our recent announcement to merge with Britten-Norman 🎙️ Listen to Jenny Kavanagh chat to Ian Petchenik here: flightradar24.com/blog/avtalk-ep… #podcast #futureflight #zeroemissions



Touch down of the Cranfield University Saab 340 National Flying Laboratory Classroom. Always nice to see the ‘flying classroom’. Looking forward to attending Royal International Air Tattoo with our friends at Cranfield University. Our Islander bound for conversion to hydrogen will be alongside it.

Touch down Oslo for the Norwegian Green Aviation conference. A country with huge ambitions. Coupled with UK expertise in aerospace technology it is a great match. Some great conversations earlier alongside Nusrat Ghani MP Our thanks to Jan Thompson British Embassy Oslo 🇬🇧🇳🇴 for huge support.


Now this is industrial policy - a mock up of Al Maktoum airport city and site of the #DubaiAirshow. It is well on the way to becoming the world’s largest. With aviation already making up 37.5% of Dubai's GDP there is a lot we can learn from here. Cc Tim Robinson catch you in a bit!

Congratulations to Richard Grace and all the team Sywell 2024 Sywell Aerodrome for an epic airshow. Incredible aircraft and very well run. Now, onwards to Farnborough *shudders*
