The NATEP programme came about through the Aerospace Growth Partnership, a joint industry / government initiative dedicated to supporting the future of the aerospace sector in the UK. The programme, which commenced in October 2013 and runs until September 2017, has brought together more than 250 aerospace supply chain companies in technology collaborations. It continues to support their projects with grant funding and expert mentoring by experienced aerospace engineers. Most of these companies are micro, small or medium sized. These technologies will be used on current and new aircraft programmes, and will increase productivity, create jobs and inject new R&D capabilities into the supply chain. NATEP supported companies will be better able to win work with existing customers and with new customers, particularly in export markets as well as in new cross sectors markets such as the automotive, energy or rail sectors. Their experience of NATEP will also better equip companies to apply for support from other UK or European grant funded programmes in the future. I hope that you will be interested to read about these exciting projects. If you would like to learn more about them, please contact the companies directly through the contacts given.

The Council has adapted surprisingly well and this has given us the ability to keep the Club working despite the restrictions we are all now accepting as part of everyday life. I'm pleased to say many of the RAeC member associations are working on Zoom so it’s very much business as usual through all of our membership.

  • T & a Winners All Years
    The Honourable Company of Air Pilots TROPHY AND AWARD WINNERS The information within this booklet was compiled and verified as accurate during the summers of 2013, 2014 and 2015 sourcing information from the Company Archives: from Minute Books of the GP&F, Court, and Trophies and Awards committee (and the committees which pre- dated them such as the Test Pilots’ Committee, the Executive Committee etc), archived copies of the “Guild News” (from February 2014 – “Air Pilot”) and various files relating to the individual awards. Citations for individual awards, where available, have been scanned and retained and are available from the Company office. The following rationale for dates is given: 1977/78 an award considered by the awarding body for the year 1977 and presented in 1978. 1978 not awarded (after consideration by the awarding body for the year 1977 no nomination was identified as suitable for an award presentation in 1978.) 1977 an immediate award considered and presented in the same year. From 2016 – all awards are listed as the year in which presented. … one small historical note – no awards were made for the year 1958/59 as the award committee decision had become so distanced from the presentation ceremony (nearly 18 months), the Court took a decision that nominations should not be sought. There was another small adjustment made between the presentations of October 1963 and the next presentation ceremony of February 1964 (the Master, Michael Majendie, did apologise to the awards winners that they would only have the trophies for
