  • Celtic League Halts Dangerous Weapons Tests
    Celtic News Archive 1996 - 2002 Celtic League halts dangerous weapons tests - 24-05-96 This week, the Celtic League successfully frustrated secret UK MOD attempts to start tests on countermeasures for so called "smart weapons". We argued the tests would pose a danger to ships and aircraft in the Irish sea area. The MOD initially would neither confirm nor deny our claims (then good sense appears to have prevailed). The tests at Aberporth missile range in mid Wales have now been deferred for a month. The League argued that the technology aimed at disabling Global Positioning Systems, on which the smart weapons depend, could pose a danger to others such as commercial ships, fishing craft and aircraft which use the systems. We set out below (in lay man's terms) detail to back up that argument. GPS is a vital component of modern navigation: It aids accurate navigation, geographic measurement of islands in the ocean, life saving and the control of rockets. Its pinpoint accuracy makes it a vital component of so called smart weapon technology which was demonstrated to such devastating effect during the Gulf War. GPS was originally a project of the US military which built the system of 24 satellites which span the world. Since 1990 the technology has been available for civil use and this enables a wide range of users to determine accurately the position of ships, land vehicles or aircraft. The GPS satellites rotate around the the earth in an elliptical orbit at an average height of 20,000 km. Eight satellites are "visible" at any one time in an intersecting orbital pattern.

Publishing Cur Magh The Foundation continues to expand its list of publications, and is now one of the largest publishers specialising in items of Manx interest. Amongst this year’s publications are a re-issue of the best selling music CD The Best That’s In which has been updated with new tracks. Financial assistance was given to a number of other publications including a re-issue of the Manx National Song Book which combines the previously separate volumes I & II into one convenient volume, newly indexed and with a special spiral binding which is especially designed to stay open on a music stand! The Foundation also assisted with a publication looking at the rural architecture of the north of the Isle of Man. Written by Sue Cannell this important volume records a style of living which has now all but disappeared. Two maps were also part-funded by the Foundation; one was the map of Manx Geology and the other was a map outlining a series of walks in and around Ramsey. The full list of publications by the Foundation is as follows: Never to Return The story of Manx prisoners sent to the penal colonies The Ellan Vannin Story The story of the loss of the Ellan Vannin after sailing from Ramsey in December 1909 The Manx and Their Music A history of the part music has played in Manx society by Fenella Bazin Captains of the Parish A history of this ancient Manx appointment by Constance Radcliffe The Promised Land A CD of Manx West Gallery Music Cronnane A CD of traditional Manx music sung by the choir Caarjyn Cooidjagh The Best That's In!
