Program about QinetiQ

[Rotten Ralph]

As I work for QinetiQ, I was just wondering what people thought of the program ref the company the other night?. I thought it was quite good but focused too much on the RAF Chinook conversion. I must say,they do a hell of a lot more than was in the program.

I used to work at Boscombe Down (SAOEU) so I know that a lot of other Aircraft Test and Eval work goes on there. Not sure about Farnborough as I've never been there. I must say that I preferred the Rolls Royce programme which was screened the week before. I found it more interesting from a technical point of view!

I agree,I thought the Rolls Royce one was the best of the three, those engines are huge & look very complicated. The submarine one was also interesting.

I'm afraid I missed it. I am vaguely interested in QinetiQ, in some ways they are a bit like the British version of places like Edwards AFB, China Lake, Tonopah, Groom Lake etc. I'll have to look out for it on the web.

Missed that too - what channel was it on - may be able to do catch up with it.....I remember the Test Pilot series the BBC did at the back end of the 80s, great show.

It is called How to build, Britain`s secret engineers. You can still see it on BBC i player, BBC2 I think.
