Used daily and by thousands of people every year, this lecture theatre is part of Cosford's Cold War Exhibition. Zoe Steven's, Ferco's Education Specialist covering the Midlands visited the site to inspect the seats 13 years after the seats were installed in 2007. 

Michelle Worthington, of RAF Museum Cosford commented 'the seats look as good as the day they were installed'.  

Testament to the quality of Ferco's design and manufacturing, these seats have certainly stood the test of time and proved a savvy return on their investment.
