Country: | Lanc,
Will you be having to move into the city? What are your living arrangements? Is this (as we term it in the US) an internship while you go to university? Full time or part time?
I'm happy for you. You will truly be an asset based upon your aerospace enthusiasm alone.
Cheers

Country: | good God guys i've posted this news before months back
Westlands are based in Yeovil, Somerset, which isn't too far from where i live! i.e. it's still in the westcountry
I'm in year 12 of school and it's a Government requirement that all year 12 students undertake a week's work experience somewhere. We're encouraged to get one a bit bigger and further away, so i applied to Westland and got a week in "Engineering Support", which sounds a lot like "Tea boy" but i said i enjoy the theory behind the engineering so hopefuly there'll be lots of maths! obviously no cameras allowed which is a shame though
as for where i'm staying, i've found a nice B&B within walking distance of the site (which is huge given it's in the middle of a town/city!)- the proplems start here, the accomadtion alone will cost about £300 for the week plus just under £100 for transport (trains are extortionately expensive over here, paying £200 for a return ticket isn't anything supprising- yet what is is that you can get two singles for £50 in some cases!), that's money i've got but have spent a long time saving so understandably i'm after funding from elsewhere, i've made a funding application to a local fund however this will all take place in the next financial year, so they can't grant me anything until then! but that's march/april time and this all takes place the first week in July, thus it's leaving it a little late if they say no, so unless you guys are gonna put some money in the lanc pot i'll have to dip into my savings, should be worth it though for an opertunity like this! should be great getting some experience doing engineering on the world's finest Helicopters
