Milton Keynes Aviation Society presents a talk by Geoffrey New on the development and operation of the Boeing 747.
Geoffrey New was a 747 Captain from 1985 to 1998. Tonight he tells us of the aircraft’s high risk development. The fact that it went into airline operations with few issues and more than met its commercial expectations, fundamentally changed the industry due the huge passenger load with their baggage plus room left to transport around 15 tonnes of freight simultaneously over great intercontinental distances, all in great safety.
Venue: Kents Hill Community Centre, Frithwood Crescent, Kents Hill, Milton Keynes, MK7 6HQ. Doors open at 7.30 p.m. Tuesday 11th July and the lecture begins at 8.00 p.m.
Visitors are very welcome - £5.00 per head.
