FOUR modern apprentices will head to Houston in the USA later this year for a once in a lifetime study tour with Nasa.

The group, which includes Connor Milloy, from Rolls Royce at Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, is to visit the agency's space centre after winning the Scottish Engineering Craft Competition.

The prize-winners for the Scottish Space School programme, which is managed by Skills Development Scotland, were announced at the Scottish Engineering Industry Centre in Glasgow this week.
