In 6 weeks weeks time I should be, one the operations carried out is the machining of the lift impeller for the harrier jump jet

I work with bigger impellers....15" diameter for private jet engines...bit overkill in an S2...

as for 5 axis machining, this one always amazes me.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDPA06D1r_8.

That last video looks like a DMG machine with a nutating head and pallet changer, thats some expesive milling tight there! I work with all sorts of 5 axis machine tools. I work for a company that makes touch probes for machine tools and my job is developing and testing pc software for probing. Like CAM for touch probes I guess!!
If this stuff tickles your pickle you should go to MACH show at the NEC in just over a weeks time!!!

Not quite, but we do make the probe heads and modules for Mitutoyo CMM's.
The company i work for now make Selective Laser Melting machines also, its prettty damn impressive, its possible to make things that are not possible to machine, with 100% density and 100% strength, in aluminium stainless and other alloys!
