Adventure in the Skies

On Monday 9 October, our Year 12 and Year 13 Design and Technology students were given the opportunity to meet the Engineers of The Royal Air Force Red Arrows Display Team. The visit included a guided tour of the BAE Systems Hawk T1 Aircraft, an introduction into principles of flight, navigation and computer systems, aerodynamics and forces, avionics and engine systems, ejection seat and cockpit controls together with the operations and PR strategies used to promote and deliver the Red Arrows product to Bahrain and countries around the globe. We would like to thank the staff of The British Embassy and Red Arrows Display Team for their very kind invitation to this hugely informative and unforgettable event.
