My first post in Transportation.

Had an open day at work at the weekend and actually managed to get some photos related to my Day job.

Have you got any of the Engine test setup (the explosive detonation on the fan blade made me cringe when I watched how you guys make the Trent engine on TV)

Photo opportunities where very restricted, so only a few complete engines and the lego ones were allowed to be photographed.

The Blade off test is a VERY restricted part of engine certification.
