This week we welcomed a visit by 24 undergraduates from the BEng(Hons) âAircraft Engineeringâ course at our new affiliated university: @PerthCollegeUHI. With 2 of their students now attested and learning to fly, the mutual benefit of this exciting partnership is clear.

ESUAS Leadership Camp. Mirroring OASC, events included âhangar exercisesâ as leader and follower; individual and group planning; group discussions; problem solving. These life skills build confidence and unlock potential. Top Job to our CGI @paulc737, he could have been a GTI!
