AS&T

 

was employed as an NC Programmer at Aerospace Systems & Technologies 2000 Ltd in Consett, County Durham, for six months, from October 2002 to March 2003. I worked mainly on the A380 Rear Wing Spar project for Airbus, it was the most interesting and largest singular component manufacturing project that I have worked on so far.

One lasting memory of working in Consett, was that it was always very misty. I know that it is situated on the edge of the North Pennines National Park, and is up in the mountains, but you couldn't see your hand in front of your face... A normal scenario for an NC Programmer!

Aerospace Systems & Technologies, Prematec Corporation and Castillion Aerospace joined together in 2005 to form a new company - CAV Aerospace. A company tailored to fit the exacting standards required from today’s aerospace industries. Their headquarters are based in Consett, County Durham, the former AS&T site.
