Aberdeen's state-of-the-art Navigation Control Centre monitors all shipping movements in and out of the harbour.
Satellite navigation has become part of our daily life. Beyond the transport sector where it enhances safety, efficiency and comfort, it is used in very different areas such as agriculture, rescue operations networks management and banking.
In the early 1990s ESA initiated research and development programmes in cooperation with the European Commission and the Civil Aviation community, leading to:
EGNOS, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service. Operational since 2011, EGNOS improves the performance of GPS and provides vertical guidance for aviation facilitating, for example, landing in small airports.
Two test-satellites GIOVE-A and B. These have prepared the way for a full Galileo constellation, and demonstrated key technologies in a very specific orbit and environment.
The first two operational satellites for Galileo, launched in 2011. Two more will join them in 2012 for a complete In-Orbit Validation and Qualification of the Galileo design.
The fully deployed system will consist of 30 satellites circling Earth at an altitude of 23,000 km and will be operated by a worldwide network of ground stations.
Galileo will be Europe’s own global satellite navigation system, compatible and interoperable with the existing American GPS and Russian GLONASS military-controlled systems.

John Rodney Lees, Johnnie to some and JRL to many started rock climbing in 1947 two years after he joined the RAF as a PTI and he quickly progressed to become an accomplished Alpinist. The photos in this album are from 3 principal sources, firstly his own personal diaries which were peppered with B&W photos. We only currently have access to the diaries that cover Johnnie’s 6 years in the MRS, but all diaries are available for viewing at the Mountain Heritage Trust lodged within the Blencathra Field Centre, Cumbria UK CA12 4SG www.mountain-heritage.org/
The 2nd source is from the MRS archive and finally the 3rd source is a set of colour slides purchased at a house clearance auction by Nigel ‘Kenny’ Kenworthy former team leader of the RAF Kinloss MRT. Kenny noticed Johnnie’s name in the description; the slides had belonged to Derek and Jane Andrews who had used Johnnie and Gwen Moffat as guides for a number of years.
There are other photos of Johnnie in the RAF Valley album.
Johnnie joined the RAF Mountain Rescue Service (MRS) in 1951 and quickly made his mark as recorded in all books about the MRS record. His love of rock climbing was such that he continued to climb with civilian friends and as a member of the RAF Mountaineering Association took part in a number of their expeditions.
Johnnie fills a unique place in MRS history and his award of a George Medal for a rescue he led in 1958 is unique in it’s history. This description of his contribution to the MRS, written on his discharge from the RAF says it all

3044815 Flight Sergeant John Rodney LEES . G.M.
Royal Air Force. No,4 Flying Training School.
Flight Sergeant Lees has been Team Leader of the Royal Air Force Valley Mountain Rescue Team for six years and three months.
He also helped to form, and has led, three other Royal Air Force Mountain Rescue Teams before his present tour. For nearly ten years he has commanded the Royal Air Force Winter and Summer Mountain Rescue courses with considerable energy and skill. From these courses come the team leaders and key men for teams at home and abroad.
During these courses and for past ten years he has guided and improved the mountain rescue techniques of the Service and has been responsible for many improvements in the equipment used. He is one of the most able rock climbers in the Royal Air Force and as a Rock Climber instructor is unsurpassed.
His wealth of experience, coupled with his zeal and energy has contributed largely to the success of the Royal Air Force training in this field and many officers and airmen are now reaping the benefit of his instruction.
As Team Leader at Royal Air Force Valley, he has led many rescues in the most inclement weather and in treacherous conditions. He knows no fear, and has frequently shown complete disregard to the imminent danger to his own life during these emergencies.
Flight Sergeant Lees is the outstanding member of all Mountain Rescue Teams where skill, determination and courage are the essential basic requirements. His experience in this field is unique and with his determination and enthusiasm he has set a splendid example which is an inspiration to all other members of the team.

NAVIGATIONAL DEFLECTOR SYSTEMS
Utilities and Auxiliary Systems Technical Data
A ship traveling at warp velocity faces a significant threat of damage caused by collisions with interstellar particles or debris. Even the tiniest particle can cause considerable damage if the ship's hull strikes it at warp speed. The Navigational Deflector system of the U.S.S. Enterprise effectively blocks such particles from hitting the ship by using three redundant high-power graviton polarity source generators, which feed subspace field distortion amplifiers. Powerful subspace field coils direct an accurate and powerful beam to push aside larger objects (such as asteroids).

Griffins from across the 89th Military Police Brigade pushed themselves to the limit to compete in the Soldier/NCO/Officer of the Year Competition.
Day 1 of the competition had the Soldiers complete a modified PT test. Unlike the standard Army Physical Fitness Test, this test began with the timed navigation through of an obstacle course to warm them up. The Push-ups were modified to a declined push-up, the sit-ups portion included sand bags, and the two-mile run was extended to three-miles that included substantial hills. All of the events were graded at the 18-21 age bracket.
The Soldiers were then given a quick break to eat before loading up in to a Light Medium Tactical Vehicle, LMTV, and trekking through a four-kilometer land navigation course. The Soldiers then loaded back into the LMTV to head to a range and qualify with both their 9M and M4 weapons. The Soldiers were then offered a chance to enjoy the A/C at the brigade headquarters building as they took a written test covering Soldier tasks and skills. The Soldiers then ended the day around 11 p.m., after once again though the Texas wilderness during a four-kilometer night land navigation course.
The next day the competition continued bright and early with a combative tournament. The competitors then moved out to a grueling obstacle course, which included a climbing ropes, parallel bars, and a tire carry. Once they were able to catch their breath the competitors moved on to practical exercises on Soldier Skills to include First Aide, treating a casualty, programming a radio, and weapons operations.
Even though each of the Griffin competitor pushed themselves to their physical and mental limits, in the end, there could only be one winner for each of the three categories, 1st Lt. Jacob Flynn, for Officer of the Year, Sgt. Jake Tuozzoli, for NCO of the Year, and Spc. Michael Jensen, for Soldier of the Year.
