We were delighted to welcome Emeline Pialat and Jean-Marc Blanckaert from Babcock France, to our sites at RAF Cranwell, RAF Shawbury and RAF Valley recently.

The visit was a chance to meet some of our teams and better understand how we deliver aircrew training across synthetic and live flying environments.

“A big thank you to the Ascent team for the warm welcome. This visit was very instructive and gave us a better idea of the scope of capabilities and expertise developed in the field of pilot training,” said Emeline, Babcock’s BD Future Business Director on LinkedIn.

“We address our deepest thanks to Mark for the outstanding organisation of this very meaningful visit. We met lots of interesting and kind people who enable us to build up a rather nice picture of Ascent capabilities and challenges they have coped with,” said Jean-Marc.
