The Institute Director presented the RIN Aerosystems Guidance Trophy on 30 July.

Director John Pottle attended the Graduation Ceremony of the Course at the Defence Air & Space Technology School, Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, Shrivenham. The Course, of almost a year’s duration, prepares selected Service personnel and Civil Servants for positions in trials and acceptance into service of complex equipment. Graduates also receive a MSc from Cranfield University.

The Institute Trophy is awarded to the top student in guidance subjects. The Trophy itself is a beautifully mounted astro-compass on a turned wood base, covered by a glass dome. The Director also handed all graduates invitations for a period of Guest Membership of the Institute.

The Institute plans to be very much involved with the next course, running at least one workshop session on PNT and hoping to host a visit in London. Other sponsors and supporters include QinetiQ, Rolls Royce and the University of Strathclyde.
