The Bloodhound Missile Preservation Group that I belong to had a very successful 2015 as this was the year that we eventually achieved a serviceable and reliable simulator in our Launch Control Post (LCP). This was mainly due to the restoration of the Ferranti Argus 700 computer, all the Argus I/O and the display console, plus getting the audio Doppler working. Since then we have been hard at work restoring the outside of the LCP and our Type 86 radar cabins and there is much more to do but a bit boring for showing what we are doing. To liven things up a bit our team member Pete Murray has produced four videos describing and showing the system in operation. These are now on YouTube and. I hope you will watch the videos and please share the link to get us known more. Our web site: http://www.bmpg.org.uk/ Our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOW9gd-tJqdqwvWQRaZ1FTw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BloodhoundMissilePreservationGroup/ If you worked with the Ferranti Argus 700 at anytime we would be delighted to hear from you. Mike
