1 September 2000 is the date the engine of SOE was first switched on. Ten years ago, after nearly three years of fine-tuning, members of the IRTE and IPlantE joined forces, creating an organisation entrusted with providing members with the modern society required to serve their ever-evolving industries. By the time the BES Professional Sector was formed in 2004, SOE had encountered its fair share of teething problems, but with decades of experience and engineering success at its core, it has proven to be an extremely successful machine. Operations Engineer hears some thoughts from all eight of SOE’s Presidents, and reviews its top 10 SOE achievements.
Operation: Farnborough International Airshow

The biennial Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) is one of the world's most iconic global aviation events. With figures still being collated for last month's show, the 2008 exhibition welcomed hundreds of exhibitors, hundreds of thousands of visitors, and was the setting for record-breaking sales contracts – totalling US$88.7bn. In addition to the crowds, there is also the small matter of an intricate air display by some of the greatest and fastest machines on earth, as well as an infrastructure to coordinate. The FIA is a huge event, but as usual, engineering competencies are crucial to its success. Operations Engineer speaks to recently appointed Operations Director Grahame Jones, to learn about some of the logistical challenges faced by FIA engineers.
