VDL Jansen’s Post

Why is there a picture of esteemed rapper, producer and entrepreneur Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs below this post I hear you ask? Because LinkedIn connections, forgive me but I am about to do some Diddy-level bragging about our presence at DSEI. But before I start, some context. I absolutely love DSEI. It’s the world’s biggest show in defence and has a scale that is breathtaking. You can find yourself making idle chitchat with a air force colonel from Pakistan or an Australian CEO of a drone manufacturer and it really feels like the whole world is under the roof of the Excel centre (with some pretty obvious exceptions!). It’s really hard work, and my enthusiasm for the show may be slightly dimmed on the morning of day 4 but worth every minute So here’s some facts about Make UK Defence at DSEI 👉 Our pavilion is colossal. At 399 sq. metres, it is the joint 10th largest stand on the show floor (tied with our friends at QinetiQ ). This is bigger than some of the biggest defence companies in the world, bigger than many national pavilions. 👉 47 companies are exhibiting or partnering with us at our pavilion, this absolutely blows past previous editions of DSEI. 👉 It’s not just the quantity of who we have on our stand, but the sheer quality and diversity that impresses. Everyone and everything from air traffic control systems to actuators, spun metal products to subsea technology, CBRN detection to composites. 👉 Over 100 Make UK Defence members in total (25% of our membership) will be exhibiting across the show floor, either with us or in the many zones and pavilions. 👉 We’ve got some really exciting plans, with international delegations, prime contractor visits, drinks receptions, networking meaning this will be our most impactful show to date. 👉 Our plans for DSEI 2025 are even bigger than this year! See you at H2-250 on September 12-15th! If you’re interested in setting up a meeting drop me a message or email [email protected] #makeukdefence #dsei #ukmanufacturing #defencesupplychains #tradeshow #networking Andrew Kinniburgh Kelly Maddison Samantha Hill Estelle Exelby Maria Winsper James V.

Why was Russia at the 2023 Dubai Airshow? Several of Russia’s biggest weapon makers and state-owned enterprises such as Rosoboronexport State Corporation, Russian Helicopters, JSC and State Corporation Rostec were showing their wares at the Middle East’s largest aviation event, which took place in mid-November. On display were drones and other weapons used in Ukraine, including the KA-52 attack helicopter. The UAE, which hosts the Dubai Airshow, is a close ally of the U.S. But that hasn’t stopped it from doing business with Russia. However, there are signs that the UAE wants to balance that booming trade with Russia and its ties with the West, particularly Washington - notably, the Russian displays were at the very far end of the venue, with its companies separated from most of the other countries at the exhibition.

It's Fun Facts Friday AirSho Fans! Did you know that the first-ever global 'flying meet' was held in 1909 in Reims, France and dubbed “Great Aviation Week”? While the Wright Brothers weren't in attendance, great aviators like Louis Blériot wowed over 200,000 awestruck spectators. Fast-forward to after World War I, the U.S. government had a surplus of airplanes, such as especially easy to fly trainers like the Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” biplane. Having no use for the aircraft, the government sold them to ex-military pilots and adventurous civilians who traveled the country to perform aerial demonstrations before a paying audience. These “barnstorming” pilots are often considered the first aerial stunt performers. With little regulation, barnstormers pulled off risky moves like loops, barrel rolls, and even flying under bridges or through barns. Stunts like wing walking, parachute jumps, and midair plane swaps were aplenty. One group even played tennis on airplane wings! Today near 12 million Americans attend air shows every year according to the International Council of Air Shows and the Fargo AirSho is proud to be part of those statistics. Join us on July 27 & 28 for some amazing aerobatic performances… although we have to issue a statement to not expect any sky tennis, we're all about safety here people! #airshow #fargo #fargoairsho #aviation #skyhigh #aviationhistory #airmeet

There are 720 words that can be formed from the letters in "CEMENT". Here are a few examples: CEMENT MENTE ENACT CAMEO MICE METE This is because there are 6 letters in "CEMENT", and each letter can be in one of 6 positions. So, the total number of possible words is 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 = 720.
