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.

If you worked with the Ferranti Argus 700 at anytime we would be
delighted to hear from you.
