Dernière journée qui commence sous la pluie. Quelques heures de cours d'anglais ce matin et puis shopping a Westwood Cross après le déjeuner. Nous arrivons normalement a Calais vers 22h; nous préviendrons les familles en cas de retour anticipé ou de retard.
C'est des souvenirs plein la tête, riches de nouvelles expériences que nous rentrons. Les apprentis ont écrit un petit compte-rendu de leur visite d'entreprise en anglais, que vous pourrez lire ci-dessous.
See you again next year!

ACORN JOINERY
We went by bus. It took 30 minutes to get there. The joinery was in Chislet. It was a small workshop owned by Gary. One of the machines costs £9,000. We asked Gary how many people work there. He said two. The French doors were being made of 'sapele'. The company makes bespoke furniture. Gary said that bespoke furniture is more expensive than other furniture.
Manston visits
SUMMIT AVIATION: Europe's leading company. JT8D and JT3D-200 series engines maintenance and repair. It was founded in 1991 and relocated to larger Manston site in 2009. It owns one of the most popular and modern commercial engines ever made (over 14,750 built). Engines here have excellent reliability, low maintenance costs and low emission levels.
Our thoughts on the visit: It was a very good and interesting visit. We learned and discovered many things. We have a better understanding of modern commercial jet engines because the functions were well explained.
SPITFIRE AND HURRICANE MUSEUM: It is near to Summit Aviation. You can see WWII fighter planes (2 examples). They were used for the defense of UK during the "Battle of Britain". You can also see many exhibits, photos and pictures on display.
Our thoughts: It was very interesting, we enjoyed the visit and seeing original weapons and aircraft. We learned the history of Spitfire and Hurricane, and saw famous Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.
