An Amazing visit. Thousands of people about but not all got aboard. Inside is stunning with all the tech and facilities.

Hope you enjoy the visit, and thnks for link to photos. A bit jealous even if I have flown over her at Rosyth. Say hello to Cammell Laird, who built the previous PoW.

We have come together with the Royal Airfoce and the Royal Navy for the fifteenth annual Schools Roadshow, with the aim of opening the eyes of young people to the broad and diverse range of careers opportunities that can be achieved from studying STEM.

Addressing the UK skills gap

With a continued shortage of engineering skills in the UK and lack of diversity across the engineering sector, the roadshow aims to inspire young people across the country, highlighting the exciting career opportunities on offer and how these relate to STEM subjects.

VACCINE JUST WEEKS AWAY !

So maybe not a year away as originally thought.

28 FEB 20
Israeli scientists say they are just WEEKS away from developing a vaccine which will beat coronavirus
Officials expect the drug to be available within 90 days after it has been tested


This should be THE headline on all media outlets around the Worl to calm fears and stop the mass Worl-Wide panick and sell-off.

Anyway, i have emailed this news story to Sky News,BBC,CNN,Fox news et al but somehow i think they already know about this and prefer to ignore it as the corona virus is such great news for them.

Turkey Is Trying to Build Its Own "F-35" Like Stealth Fighter

Ankara wants a homemade stealth program, but that technology is complicated and very costly. Turkey could succeed, but it likely won't be as good as the F-35.



Wonder how far they will get with it before they buy "off the shelf".
