      Hello Chrisj14

      I would love to invest in a flight simulator that would allow students to see what a plane is like from the cockpit – Most people only see an aircraft from their seat but the flight deck is a totally different world – If i could buy a simulator, I would make it available to everyone so they could understand this fascinating job!

      I’d go on a big tour of UK schools trying to get kids excited about STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths). I’d buy lots of props. Maybe I’d buy and drive a big tour bus type thing like the http://www.labinalorry.org/.

      I think I would like to donate the money towards a research and development programme into artificial limbs……. that is in support of soldiers and sailors who have lost limbs in Afghanistan. Although not directly related to what I do, they are fellow members of the UK Armed Forces who in protecting our country have come home missing arms or legs and the ongoing advances in technology will only help them to live a normal life.

      I think I would set up a travelling soup kitchen which only uses electric cars. It would be good to give back to the communities and I can get people interested in green technologies along the way- two birds, one stone!
