Description
In this new three part series of 'How to Build' - we look at three more British engineering projects that all share something in common; amazing technology and people with highly specialised skills.... This episode follows some of the people who work at the two main Airbus factories in the UK. In Filton, near Bristol (which has manufactured aircraft for almost 100 years, including Concorde) we meet engineers and designers at the company's cutting-edge research and development facility, and in Broughton, in North Wales, one of Europe's biggest factories, we meet the people who actually build the massive wing.
