Pupils from Davidson’s Main’s Primary in Edinburgh visited SELEX Galileo,a Finmeccanica Company, to receive a presentation on key capability, followed by a tour of the facility. The visit came about as the result of an Engineering presentation delivered to the school by Principal Systems Engineer Brian Paterson, following a request received by his son asking whether engineers could visit the school to describe the profession to the children.
Some of the children displayed an exceptional level of understanding of the cutting edge technology built at the site, asking pertinent questions about the tracking and scanning abilities of Radars and Lasers. Thanks to Brian Paterson, Joe Brogan, Brian Liston and Bill Sinclair for hosting the visit.
Best question of the day: ‘Do you make any light sabres like the ones in Star Wars?’
