His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent visited Cranfield University on Monday 28th February 2022 to see the latest research developments and new facilities at the Bedfordshire campus. HRH began his visit by touring the Digital Aviation Research and Technology Centre (DARTeC). The Duke then planted a new Liquidambar tree near Kent House – a building that he opened in 2012 - as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy tree planting project to celebrate HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The Duke then had a tour of the new Cranfield Forensic Institute (CFI). The visit ended with a lunch with key Cranfield personnel and a chance to thank HRH for his support to Cranfield. HM Lord-Lieutenant of Bedfordshire, Helen Nellis, said: “The Duke of Kent has had a long and fruitful association with Cranfield University and it was wonderful to welcome him once again to Bedfordshire. He leaves a lasting legacy of support and enthusiasm for all of the innovation and teaching that goes on at Cranfield. In the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year, and Cranfield’s 75th anniversary year, this was a really special visit.”
