Work experience?

[Hazzer111]

Hi, i don't suppose anyone knows of anywhere (aviation related) where i can do work experience (I live in Grimsby but i could make arrangements anywhere around lincs) .

If you're looking for voluntary work, GJD at Bruntingthorpe would be a good place to start. Probably a bit far to travel though

Thanks , but brunty is too far

Is York too far? I don't know if it would be possible but could you volunteer at YAM?

Hazzer:::::::::::

What airports, large or small, are closest to you?

You could certainly contact the managers of those
places and explain what you're after....

I'm sure that there must be opportunities for
volunteers of all kinds at many airfields if you
just call up and see what's going on

Heck, someone might even be willing to PAY
you a little something in exchange for sweeping
up a few times a week!

It NEVER hurts to ASK!!!!!

And even just sweeping up
can lead to other stuff

Already thought of that, only problem is a short deadline and for some reason only 20 work experience places!

BBMF do work experience placements, BUT I believe they take them from air cadets.
Can't hurt to enquire though.

I have sent a letter to raf waddington requesting work experience.
The bbmf have forwarded my email to someone who manages work experience.
I got a reply from east Kirkby, they don't do work experience any more.
I am waiting for reply's from eastern airways, bbmf and vtts.

Three cheers for Old Rigger.

Faith in human nature restored - well partly anyway.


Good hunting Hazzer.
