Are the training staff any good

An alternative view for consideration:

Orange wine

Can't think of any equals to the tales that have gone before.

I can only think of very tame examples of wine glasses/bottles/anything filled with p**s when one could not hold on any longer...or of...

British aircraft industry - 2nd to none

Superb documentary. And shows the turn of fortune. Up to the late 60s lots of Brit manufactured aircraft in the top dogs list. Post 60's most of them US origin. Our aircraft industry was so good that...
