*seriously, you can reach parts of the aircraft that even our scientists can't see in person

Hello everyone - here’s an important update about our presence on X.

The FAAM account on X will remain for now, but we won't be posting anymore.

Last week we made a “flying” visit to @AvroHeriMuseum to mark 100 years since the site was opened as the production centre for Avro aircraft. Our aircraft was converted for science there in 2004, making it the last aircraft to leave the production line that’s still flying today.

Every year we host a placement student from @ChemistryatYork. We're very happy to introduce Matt Baker who will be joining us for his placement year. Matt will work with the chemistry team on the suite of atmospheric chemistry instrumentation at the facility ⚗️ 🧪 ☁️

Last week, we said goodbye to our @ChemistryatYork placement student Irene Monreal Campos after a fantastic year. She worked alongside our chemistry team, while completing her own research project with us. She's heading off to start her PhD in atmospheric chemistry!
