the Royal Aeronautical Society, covering as it does the full spectrum
of professional involvement in aerospace. The SIA likewise covers the
undersea domain and as such welcomes the sponsorship of internationally
eminent companies such as BMT to our sponsorship community. That BMT
has agreed to take such a high level is a wonderful vote of confidence
in the future of the submarine enterprise here in Australia, and provides
us with access to impartial and professional international expertise.”
