In Year 11, when I was 15, I was lucky enough to be given a work experience placement with British Airways (there were only two placements with them).
I was given a placement in Information Management near the engineering hangars at Heathrow.
I mainly did office type work, but my supervisor wrote a letter to her manager asking if I could have a look at the Concorde and B777 which I did in the end, which was excellent!
I also went to the BA headquarters at Waterside and on my last day went to Cranebank where the pilots are trained on the simulators.
Those were some of the best two weeks of my life.
