The Michael Beetham Conservation Centre (MBCC) is one of the finest aircraft conservation centre's in the world. To enable greater public access and understanding of the centre's work for one special week it opened its doors to visitors at RAF Museum Cosford, so on Monday 13th November we took 14 students along to have a look at this amazing exhibition.
The students were free to look around the exhibition and gained exclusive behind-the-scenes access to aircraft conservation work and see what Boeing Build a Plane project looks like on a big scale. They got to meet the apprentices and talk about what the apprenticeship with MBCC involves.

The students met Mr Harold Howard Evans who was a Wellington pilot in 1940-1945 during WWII. He flew on 29 operational flights from different bases in Britain and travelled as far as southern Germany.
The students took 360 photos of the different exhibitions! But sadly we can't fit them all on the blog....so here are some of the best ones along with quotes about what they learnt from the visit.
"I learnt that something has big and heavy as a plane can still be airborne due to technology"- Kyle Hubbard
"I learnt that flying is not all fun and games, because for most people who flew in war it was life and death situation and some still find it difficult to talk about their flying experiences."-
Abigail Shelton
"I learnt that even thou the war was years ago the pilots that flew in WWII still find the experience traumatic"- Katie Louise Wallbank
