A group of young Engineers from The Spirit of Goole Project visited our Maintenance Hangar at Leeds Bradford Airport recently, to help them gain inspiration ahead of their Fastest Aircraft Build by Teenagers world record attempt.
The Spirit of Goole Project is a charity that provides engineering projects to young people in and around Goole, and later this year they will attempt to construct a Sherwood Scout Biplane (pictured) from start to flight in just 72 hours.
To help the group get a better understanding of the task in hand, the Jet2.com Hangar Maintenance Team took them for a behind the scenes look around one of our Boeing 737-800NG aircraft at the Hangar.
Senior First Officer, Dave Bradbrook and Marcus Mountcastle, Hangar Supervisor, showed the students around the aircraft, with many of them leaving with ambitions to return to Jet2.com for a career in a few years’ time!
We wish them the best of luck with their attempt, and we hope that the visit to our Hangar helped!
