If you haven't seen this, it's a must-see.

You can find it currently on the BBC's iPlayer.

A riveting testimony to state-of-the-art British engineering, and an uplift in these troubled economic times.

Enjoy!

I have a mate who works at that Barnoldswick plant - awesome place - some very clever guys there.

That's what happens when kids get REAL apprenticeships and show what they can do. There was one about Mclaren a few weeks ago building a super car.

We have the brains in this country to do this kind of stuff, which is why it infuriates me that we dumb stuff down and teach kids to pass exams rather than teaching them real skills like they do in China, Germany.

great to see some UK engineering companies leading the world though.
