Hi all,
Presently I am in the second year of working towards getting my mechanics licence (part-66 B1). For this I have to do an internship of roughly half a year. Now, since I would like to get involved in vintage aircraft when I finish, I would really like to do the internship at a company that works on old aircraft.
Does anybody perhaps know a company or organisation that might be open to this or wouldn’t mind having an intern eager to learn about the ins and outs? for something like this? The internship would start beginning of May. I would like to do the internship in the UK (or perhaps another country?).
Many thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Roel Lucassen

I hold a EASA B1.1 B1.2 and C licence with several hundred Aircraft types and engines on it, as well as holding a CAA BCAR licence too 🙂
I hope you get there mate 🙂

Please remember that for a B1.1, you will need 2 years relevant experience within a Part 145 company – assuming you are training with a Part 147 registered school- if not, you will need 5 years experience. The experience must be on European registered jet propelled aircraft weighing over 5700Kg.
If its a B1.3 you are gaining, the same weight restriction applies, as does the Part 145 company.
I have experience on the BBMF’s Lancaster (as a civillian, and it does not count towards my B1 licence – just 6 months of ambition fulfilled….
Oh and Scott, your best bet is to talk to Newcastle Aviation Academy (since you’re just down the road from us!) You will need RELEVANT qualifications to gain access to the B1 / Foundation degree course, but to get on our lead in course (or anyone elses) you will need 5 GCSE’s at C or above in Maths, English and a science. All courses are full time.
OR you could try licence by post… 35 quid an exam…. oh and a couple of grand for the notes.

Scott,
I have no idea how it works in the UK, in the Netherlands there are private schools and government funded schools for this. Perhaps someone from the UK knows how this works?
