Alex was invited by Safran Landing Systems - a centre of excellence dedicated to maintenance, repair and overhaul of landing gears for civil, military and helicopter aircraft - to view the world-leading engineering taking place here in Gloucestershire.
From the historic Harrier jump-jet to modern civilian airliners, so much of the aviation industry’s landing gear is and has been manufactured or refurbished in our county - and with the help of Cheltenham apprentices too!
