We exhibited at DPRTE (Defence Procurement, Research, Technology & Exportability) Exhibition and conference more than 1100 people were in attendance with meetings organised with MOD. We were interested to learn about possibilities of flight simulation possibilities for the new Lockheed Martin Lightening II F-35, where £150million has been allocated to this category. With 1 hour in the air costing £40k and 1 hour in a simulator costing £1-2k there is emphasis to spend more time in simulators, with real flight time to become qualified just 22 hours with pressure to reduce to just 15 hours. Of the 146 vessels operated by Defence Marine Services only a few have Moonpool ROV systems or winch systems mostly sourced by the ship builders in Holland.
