You could always try asking the people in Final Year at your university
I know there are a lot who went on placement over the 2005-6 year, myself being one of them. Oh and I'm on a MEng Aerospace Engineering at the University of Hertfordshire
feel free to send me an email / pm / whatever.. Just let me know what kind of job you're looking for for the year and I'll ask around for you.
Take care
