Minister of State for External Affairs, Shri Pabitra Margherita delivered the keynote address on ‘India’s Outreach to Latin America: New Vistas for Untapped Potential’ at the Raisina Dialogue 2025 in New Delhi
This week will be a crucial one for the European Union nascent diplomatic corps - the European External Action Service - as a debate and crucial vote by MEPs could clear the last hurdle before it is established. The European Parliament has budgetary control over the service and thus MEPs have pushed to ensure that it will be independent and that its staff will be made up mainly of EU civil servants with diplomats from Europe's nations making up the last third.

The MiG-21 is the most widely produced and used supersonic fighter ever with over 10,000 built since 1955. The Fishbed was originally designed as a short-range interceptor to combat the B-52s and B-58s of the U.S. Air Force. The later MiG-21PF version incorporated a better radar, and slightly longer range for use as an all-weather fighter. The MiG-21, like its American counterpart the F-4 Phantom, does not have an internal gun and relies on missiles for air-to-air combat.
Service History
This aircraft was built in the Soviet Union as the second aircraft of the second batch of MiG-21PFs built. It was delivered to the Polish Air Force on May 7, 1964 and was assigned to the 11th Fighter Regiment. This unit was later redesignated as the 9th Fighter Regiment. The aircraft was later moved to the 9th Fighter Regiment at Lask, Poland. It was retired from Polish service on March 23, 1989.

Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK
The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.
This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.
H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to
form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.
The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.
There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.
In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.
The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008
As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.
Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity
A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.
Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.
The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.
Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.
Chronology
1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.
1953 - Construction work is largely completed.
1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.
1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices
1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.
1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)
TOUCHSCREEN
A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine. (E A Johnson 1966). See also patent GB 1172222.
Information From Hugh Williams/mraths
1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.
1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.
2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre
2019 - Visual Recording of the buildings interior by MRATHS. Be means of a LIDAR scan and photographs being taken. The exterior was mapped with a drone to allow a 3D Image of the building to be created via Photogrammetry. This was created in Autodesk Photo Recap.
2020 - Building demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site.

Bridge Toll House still in use at Cartford Bridge Gate, as The Toll House, Cartford Road, LITTLE ECCLESTON WITH LARBRECK (FYLDE District). The principal structure is thought to have been built for the a Bridge Company Turnpike Trust in the 20th century in the form of a vernacular house. Currently toll house and dwelling property which retains the tollhouse features almost unaltered on the UC road, Little Eccleston to Moss Edge road. External features; two-storeys on rectangular floor plan, having a gabled roof, with walls mainly of brick, roofed in cement tile, square headed windows with modern glazing, an enclosed porch with a square headed doorway; toll booth in the porch. This is a modern house built beside the reconstructed toll bridge over the highest part of the tidalreach on the River Wyre. Not Listed.

More than 350 Soldiers and Airmen from a special response force of the Virginia National Guard conduct an external evaluation validation exercise June 18 at the Henrico County Fire Training Center. The Virginia National Guard’s special response force is the Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear High Yield Explosive Emergency Response Force Package, known as the CERFP (pronounced “surf-p”), and the unit can conduct tasks associated with urban search and rescue, mass decontamination, medical triage and treatment and command and control. The force is made up of Soldiers and Airmen from units based in Sandston, West Point, Hampton, Norfolk, Danville, Virginia Beach, Rocky Mount and Langley Air Force Base. The Virginia Defense Force, Henrico County Division of Fire, Virginia State Police, the Henrico Regional Hazardous Incident Team, the Salvation Army Richmond Area Command and the American Red Cross Greater Richmond Chapter also took part in the exercise. Civilian role players in Hollywood-style make up added realism to the exercise. (Photo by Sgt. Andrew H. Owen, Virginia Guard Public Affairs)
