SCHOOLS from all over the country have been visiting an aircraft technology exhibition in Poulton this week - without setting foot in the town.
Hodgson High School Technology College, in association with British Aerospace, is hosting SET99, a series of lectures and activities to mark National Science, Engineering and Technology Week.
And schools from as far afield as Wiltshire and Sussex have been making use of the latest video conferencing technology to sit in on the lectures.
Experts from British Aerospace have been on hand to explain aspects of flight testing, the manufacture of aircraft and even how to make the perfect paper aeroplane.
