<tt>Good idea Stu.<br>
<br>
A challenge for you, if you feel up to it, would be to get a visit
to the Maritime Bridge</tt><tt> Simulator next to Cammel Lairds in
Birkenhead. </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>( </tt><tt><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/LairdsideMaritimeCentre/">http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/LairdsideMaritimeCentre/</a>
)</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>They have a couple of full size ship's bridges, with every
window a hi-def screen, and is used for training, from teams
working under stress for days at a time in hazardous storm
conditions, to master pilots working out how a yet unbuilt mega
ship will handle under docking conditions.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>I went several years ago (about 2-3 hour visit), and it was
impressive. The IT then was based on a few PCs running Windows XP
Pro, but they were reaching the limits of the scope. It is a
life-size mega game. I understand they may now charge for visits,
but you may be able to </tt><tt>persuade them we are a bunch of
IT whizz kids, who may be able to help them.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Anyway, why not give it a try - Roger.</tt><br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me
organising a few day trips out like I have done in the past?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I was initially thinking about trying to get us a look
round Airbus in Broughton if anyone is interested. It is by no
means gaurenteed but I am usually able to get my way in the
end!<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Other ideas could include:<br>
<br>
museam of science and industry in Manchester<br>
Imperial war museam<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>One local one is the nuclear command and control centre in
Winsford (Hack Green). We could easily do that in a day and
the cost is £8.50 plus whatever transport costs.We did do it
abour three years ago if I remember but its always good for a
look round,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Personally I'd also quite enjoy a brewery tour as well, and
there are loads around Chester.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>So, is anyone interested in any of the above, or even the
idea?<br>
