Thanks for the replies everyone.
Cranfield - Top of my list now, because it's pretty close to where my parents live. Worth a try, but most of their work is engineering and human factors.
Guildhall Uni - Hadn't thought of that one, thanks!
AAIB - I went for a look round a while ago (when I wasn't really thinking about jobs) and it sounded like again it was engineering.
BAE - Something in the pipeline at the moment...
Journo - Would love to, but I would probably need more experience. I'm looking into it from a science perspective, but will ask about aviation too.
Qinetiq - Like BAE I'd probably have to go in as a biologist, so am looking at potential for moving into something broader.
Keep them coming! Anything at all is good, you never know what connections it might make.
