A realistic mock up of a aeroplane cabin has landed at Nottingham College to help train the flight attendants of the future. The setting provides a real-life setting away from the classroom where trainee air stewardesses wheel trollies along the narrow aisle with seats on either side.
Located on the fourth floor of the new City Hub in Canal Street, once the door of the turquoise fuselage is closed, it's like being in the sky with clouds at the windows and uniformed air cabin crew performing safety demonstrations with life jackets and oxygen masks. All that's missing is the turbulence and lengthy airport delays.
Aviation student Adrienn Egedi, 17, said: "I think it's really nice - it looks real like an actual aircraft. It helps with practicals and really brings it to life, what you would do if you were actual cabin crew. I think it's really helpful.
