19:30 - 21:00

Add Event to Calendar: Google

LOCATION

Bath Royal Literary & Scientific Institution
16-18 Queen Square
Bath
Somerset

United Kingdom

Please be aware this meeting has now been cancelled due to COVID-19. Please keep updated on our event website.

SPEAKER| Stephen Collins, former civil servant, reviewer of major programmes for the Office of Government Commerce

ABSTRACT| The Apache AH-64 Longbow is considered the best attack helicopter in the world. Highly desired by the British Army and more expensive than rival bids, this multibillion-pound procurement option was chosen in 1995 amidst conflicting political considerations yet in 2012 it faced redundancy. Explore the pros and cons of keeping this formidable helicopter, the governance applied to these multibillion-pound decisions and current thinking about the future of the Apache fleet.

Directions

BRLSI is on the west side of Queen Square, in the centre of Bath near Milsom St, the Circus and Royal Crescent.

By road: BRLSI is on the A4 as it goes through the centre of Bath. We are five minutes from the Charlotte Street long-stay car park (10 mins if you park at the far end!) - drive past BRLSI, turn left at the top of the square, then first right. There is also limited on-street parking in Queen Square.  

By rail/bus: Bath Spa railway station is 10-15 minutes walk away, and Bath's new bus station is next door to it. Taxis are available from the railway station at most times.

Please visit the BRLSI website for further information >>

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

 

This meeting is part of the Royal Meteorological Society Meetings programme, open to all, from expert to enthusiast, for topical discussions on the latest advances in weather and climate.
