It's a crazy time and some days can be a little shitty but in an effort to cheer myself up, I went through all my study tour things again, having put them into a memory box when I got back home last year. (For more on the study tour, check out my photo diary and Instagram highlight!) So now, channelling all my stress and anxiety into something creative, I put two photo/memory frames together. To me, they aren't only a reminder of what was an incredible trip, but that I've experienced so many awesome things and that I WILL get the chance to do awesome things again - one day! So I thought I'd share this little project that made me smile. A x AirbusAirbus Industrie in Toulouse France was the first place we visited on the study tour, and I think one of the most exciting! It was a fantastic day and we saw a number of the Airbus facilities including the Customer Showroom and A330 Final Assembly Line (FAL). I'll try not to bore you too much with the nerdy aviation stuff but it was a great day so I put together this collection of little mementos in an IKEA box frame. Going around anti clockwise, the first is an image of me in the A350 mock-cockpit from when we explored the full scale aircraft models in the showroom. It was incredible seeing all the models in the Airbus rage, especially in real life scale! Next, the black key-ring at the bottom was included in the gift bag Airbus gave us which was such a nice surprise. I choose to display the side with their brand and logo but on the reverse in their 50th year branding. The picture of the Air France concord is a ticket from the Aeroscopia Museum which we visited at the end of the day. All the tickets had different aircraft but I love this one especially with the iconic aircraft and fun pop of blue. Just above it is a little card that also came in the gift bag. Its nothing special, but I wanted to include it to showcase the 50 years branding which is hidden on the key-ring, plus I enjoy the pop of colour. Lastly in the top corner is a silver A380 pin which I purchased from the museum gift shop. I choose this particular aircraft pin because the A380 is iconic to me and I'll always think of it as being something that triggered my interest of aviation. It may seem random to some but together these items really symbolise my memories of that day and I got so much joy out of putting it all together. Virgin AtlanticVirgin Atlantic hosted us for two days in London and they were an incredible host - probably the best on the trip! I've visited airline's in the past and learnt about their operations before but Virgin went above and beyond, showing us everything, plus the two days were filled with so much fun.
I had so many photos from the second day particularly and I wanted to showcase what a unique experience it was visiting their Gatwick hangar and exploring a Boeing 747 Jumbo. Because of this I choose a nine square layout, with an equal amount of photos of me and the aircraft. The only two squares not from the hangar are the centre and top middle. The very centre is my visitor pass from the two days and above it is a photo of the B747 model in the foyer of their head offices. I'm so thankful for the experience Virgin Atlantic offered and I will always associate the queen of the skies with this airline, and this frame is the perfect reminder of it all.
