A rare treat - Hill Helicopters
Last week, thanks to a personal link with the founder Dr. Jason Hill , John Gillen was able to arrange for us a unique visit to Hill Helicopters in Stafford. And what a treat it was!
Richard Turner, John and myself spent a couple of hours soaking up the glorious engineering on display at Hill Helicopter's impressive brand new location. Richard is a former helicopter owner/pilot, I've been a flight fanatic for years and John has an eye for manufacturing organisation and quality - and we all love things that are well engineered.
Whilst this location is still under development, everything here oozes thoughtful planning and meticulous execution. As for the helicopter itself, that gorgeous outer shell, the interior fittings - and even the super-efficient jet engine are being built on-site. The avionics are a thing of beauty. The end product is a beautiful, lightweight helicopter that'll carry five people - and with much more luggage space than a large SUV!
No wonder Staffordshire (among others) has been dubbed "The creative County"
Many thanks again to Jason.
