Cardiff Airport began life as wartime satellite airfield RAF
Rhoose, officially opening on 7 April 1942, and has grown to become
one of the UK's major civil airports. Home of Cambrian Airways and
used by a varied mix of international airlines, the airport has
been continually upgraded since civilian flying began in 1952.
Aircraft maintenance has always been a vital part of the airport's
activity and BAMC is one of the largest buildings in South Wales
and can accommodate four Boeing 747 'jumbo jets' at one time. It is
not only aircraft that comprise this airport's lively history; many
people have shaped it including workers, travellers and even rugby
celebrities. The supporters' 'air lifts' to and from matches are
legendary. 2012 was the 70th anniversary of the first operations at
this sleepy Vale of Glamorgan airfield. Little did those wartime
pilots realise that one day their 'satellite airfield' would
resound to the sounds of Concorde, Jumbo Jets and every
contemporary aircraft imaginable.
A revised and rearranged fourth edition of our previously titled
CXC Biology. Comprehensively covering the CSEC syllabus
requirements, this full-colour edition contains carefully
controlled language to make the text accessible for a wide ability
range. Biology for CSEC includes questions throughout to test
understanding in progressive steps and reinforces new knowledge and
concepts through revision questions at the end of each chapter.
This edition also incorporates many investigations throughout the
text, almost all of which could be used for the assessment of
practical skills, and a full apparatus list which takes into
account the new guidelines on safety. A detailed contents list, a
complete glossary and a comprehensive index are also included.
Ford Advanced Vehicle Operations (AVO) developed and built high
performance Escorts from 1970 until March 1974. Geoff Jones worked
there for most of that time, firstly as an engineer in Quality
Control and Process Engineering, then moving to Product Planning
working for Mike Moreton and Stuart Turner. As well as the AVO
years, this book covers the early years in Liverpool - from school
to college and joining Ford as a student apprentice. Before AVO,
Geoff worked at Ford Competitions Department and Halewood Assembly
Plant as well as spending some years as a motor race marshal. "It
Beat Working" concentrates on the human aspects of working in the
automotive industry and provides a unique insight into the
operation and personalities. The many interesting and highly
amusing stories give a real flavour of life at a time that was
probably the best to be in the car building business.

organizations.
