One of our speakers Graham Nicholas makes a presentation to the MOSI on the 12th April 2012

Recent feedback comments.

“A truly exceptional event – highly informative and entertaining from a brilliant speaker.”

An excellent presentation on all levels; marketing, financial and technical given by somebody who clearly knew Tornado inside out.

The lecturer was one of the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable that I’ve encountered for a long time.

This must be one of the most interesting talks that I have attended. This was enhanced by the fact that the speaker was so directly involved and hands on.The tornado project has so captured the public’s interest. It was a privilege to have attended this event. Thanks to all involved.

Overall I consider this to have been an excellent presentation that kept the audience enthralled. Well done indeed!”
