Whilst we always say we have the best aviation facilities to help students develop their aviation skills, this month this was further endorsed by a range of filming by WMR for the Discovery Channel in their Aircrash Confidential series.
This has involved a two day shoot at our Bournemouth International Airport Centre utilising the Boeing B737 interior for 6 different aircraft disasters using the type with accidents in different parts of the world.
Utilising over 40 extras and actors filming went without a hitch and also included the JARE ATP Directors taking small cameo parts as cabin crew for some of the scenes!
So successful was this shooting that WMR decided to use our Birmingham Centre facilities for their two night flights on smaller aircraft we have at our Birmingham Centre recreating both a DH DASH-8 and a BAe Jetstream 31 set of interiors to take place on 29.11.11.
We are very excited to see the outcome on the small screen and broadcast on the Discovery Channel is scheduled from February 2012 for a series of the Aircrash Confidential programmes to be aired over the following months.
All being well further shooting should take place in 2012 for further scenes in the Aircrash Confidential series at our Aviation facilities.
