Leonardo – Headline Sponsor

Leonardo’s Yeovil site is the Home of British Helicopters, having established world-class manufacturing capability over the past century, since the Westland Aircraft Works was established in 1915. During this time, more than 3,300 helicopters have been delivered. The site was built in order to build aircraft to support the First World War effort. The first aircraft built at the Works was a Short 184 seaplane, which left on 1 January 1916, by horse and cart. The fourth ever aircraft built at Westland took part in the Battle of Jutland, piloted by Frederick Rutland from Weymouth, or ‘Rutland of Jutland’ as he became known.

Today, Leonardo remains the UK’s only helicopter manufacturer, with its Yeovil site employing 3300 people involved in the production of AW159 Wildcat, AW101 Merlin and the new fully autonomous Proteus platform.
