The existing vertical digital camera system will be equipped with a further two CCD cameras and a video link to assist in accurate site alignment. This will allow the camera operator to visually follow the GPS/moving map system we currently use.

The aircraft is also equipped with long range fuel tanks, providing up to eight hours endurance, a more powerful engine than our present Cessna and more up to date avionics to improve safety. The aircraft is to be painted in the 'High Viz' blue/yellow (as seen on army & police helicopters) to improve 'on site' and transit visibility.

The show brings together specialist photographic library collections and trade buyers; the show is also open to the public. LAPL will be showcasing our aerial, football and aviation collections as well as introducing our new digital on-line library service.

Get Mapping Partnership
Flight Images have entered a business partnership with Get Mapping (www.getmapping.co.uk ), Geosense ( www.geosense.co.uk ) and SCS Ltd ( www.scs-ltd.co.uk ) to re-fly the Millennium Map of Great Britain at 10 to 15 cm resolution. For this purpose, Flight Images is operating its new Piper Chieftain twin engine survey aircraft from a second base at Oxford's Kidlington Airport. The aircraft carries the latest state-of-the-art Vexcel Ultracam D digital survey camera www.vexcel.co.at, the first of its kind in the UK and to date one of only ten worldwide. The camera with gyro stabilised mount, is 'driven' by a computer controlled navigation system www.igi-ccns.com and will be undertaking a vertical survey of the whole of the UK on a three year rolling basis, as well as being available for specialist operations and one off surveys at resolutions down to 5cm!

This will, for the first time, make startlingly detailed high-resolution survey imagery available to the general public via Get Mapping's web site. The data also includes near infrared and panchromatic layers. The change to digital format has increased the visual clarity of the imagery to a breathtaking level and many leading insurance and communications companies, together with the emergency services, are expressing great interest in the new product.

London Aerial On-Line Library
The on-line library is now up and running providing an instant access facility for commercial users. www.londonaerial.co.uk Don't forget that the on-line library contains just a fraction of the library data we have available. If you can't find what you need, have a special request or if you want someone else to do the searching (free of charge), then give Glyn a call on 01276 855997.

The imagery contained within the on-line library is priced competitively around the most common usage requirements, but if you have more limited usage requirements, then please call for a revised quote.

New 3D Golf Techniques Developed
As part of our policy of continual refinement of our products, we have now introduced a variable height and adjustable positioning layer for 3D golf imagery. This allows the customer to control the 'depth' of the 3D work, together with the ability to reposition, add or delete features as necessary without altering the integrity of the original photography.

This can save many hours of fine tuning and gives the customer control over the 'feel' of the 3D work.

GPS Linked Image Data
From Spring 2005, all new digital library imagery will be photographed with the addition of a GPS link which allows positional, height and date/time data to be stored within the image (not visible).

This will ultimately allow a rapid search facility to be integrated within the library and on-line search functions.
