New Year Greetings to all our readers and best wishes for the coming year. For those at sea “May the seas be kind and the weather fair.” It is during this quarter of the year, partly due to the normally pleasant weather, that most of the IMF “Events” take place. It has followed the same pattern this year. There are two reports on the activities of our sister wing, the Society of Indian Marine Artists (SIMA). The first was a workshop held at Peacock Bay, National Defence Academy. This was much appreciated by the artists as they would not otherwise have got such an opportunity. Also, most welcome were four cadets from the NDA Art Club, who joined the workshop. The second, was the junior SIMA painting competition held in the Empress Gardens. This was a great success with a much larger than anticipated number participating. The enthusiasm shown by the children and their parents were very high and we will have to give some thought as to whether two such competitions can be held every year. A report on a more solemn event “Remembrance Day” has been included in this issue. It is a great help that the venue, the Bund Garden provides a very suitable ambience for the occasion and as in previous occasions it was conducted satisfactorily. The final event was the “International Coastal Clean - Up.” Beside the routine report of the activities around Pune, we have been able to give details of the Clean - Up all over the country. This has been possible only due to the very hard and painstaking work, put in by Cdr Mukund Lele. Included “A Woman’s Place at Sea” which describes Kate Linley’s very successful life at sea. This is of relevance to us as we require many more girls to think about a career at sea. There has been a start, as noted by the number of lady trainees in the many Mercantile Training Colleges around Pune, however their numbers need to be increased greatly. Kapil Dev Bahl an IMF member has contributed and article “A Refugee in a Container.” This is one of the most bizarre stories about cargo carriage that I have ever come across. Can remember only one occasion when in the Persian Gulf I was informed that the C/O had stopped weighing anchor because there was a snake entangled in the anchor cable. Fortunately, panic was averted when it slipped away through the hawse - pipe.

    UK Military Hovercraft Trials Units

    Appendix 1 UK Military Hovercraft Trials Units Background When Christopher Cockerell was seeking support for the development of the hovercraft principle, it was the intervention of the late Earl Mountbatten that was of signifi cant help. With his background in Amphibious Warfare, he immediately saw the potential for this new concept, so much so that it was initially classifi ed as Top Secret. Eventually, the Saunders Roe, SR.N1, was built and launched on 11 June 1959 to further evaluate the potential of the concept. This new vehicle attracted great pub- licity and interest in the UK. Military interest led to the formation of an Interservice Hovercraft Working Party in 1961 and the formation of the Interservice Hovercraft (Trials) Unit (IHTU) at HMS Ariel (later HMS Daedalus), at Lee-on-the-Solent just west of Portsmouth harbour. IHTU personnel were drawn from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Air Force and the Army. The different Service backgrounds and training assisted both in routine maintenance and fault fi nding on these special craft. Additionally, after the traditional 3-year tour, personnel were drafted to active units and able to spread the message about the usefulness of amphibious hovercraft. Figure A1.1 shows the Unit in the NHTU days with SR.N6, BH 7 and VT 2 craft present. The Early Days In order to evaluate hovercraft military potential, to start with craft were hired from their manufacturers and operated from Lee-on-the-Solent. These evaluations served the double purpose of enabling Service personnel to gain experience of hovercraft operations and assisting manufacturers in the development of their craft.

    - WHERE NATURE RESIDES - LOSE YOURSELF IN AN ORCHESTRA OF TRANQUILITY. LISTEN TO NATURE’S LIVE CONCERT. In the green valleys surrounding Pune is a small hamlet known as Sangrun. With the Sahyadri Range to the north and Khadakwasla Lake to the south, it’s cocooned in nature’s blanket. The winds play a melodious tune and the trees sway to this composition. Water bounces off the rocks and birds play hide ‘n’ seek with the clouds. Truly, this is nature’s concert coming to life. And you’re the audience about to drown in its rhapsody. COUNTRYSIDE: THE HEADLINER OF THE CONCERT Every concert needs a star attraction. And the one at Sangrun is ‘Countryside’ by Pate Developers. Located near the famous Peacock Bay, a part of Khadakwasla backwaters, Countryside is your chance for a tête-à-tête with nature. Exclusive bungalows and NA plots with topnotch amenities make weekends here seem surreal. All you need to do is pack your favorite books, woolens and coffee. DROWN YOURSELF IN NATURE’S MELODY. EVERY WEEKEND. Weekday work stress is a fact of life that we all have to live with. And on weekends we find ourselves doing home chores and completing unfinished personal work. So, when does one get exclusive family time to rejuvenate and relax? ‘Countryside’ is the quintessential weekend getaway. Being enveloped by nature, it’s pure air, fresh water and rustic surroundings will relax your mind and body. More importantly, it’ll give you quality time with family and some much needed ‘me’ time. Take a walk in the woods or simply sit in your private garden with a hot cuppa; either way weekends will never be the same again.

    Pune Urban Biodiversity-A Case of Millennium

    .. "- \. ill } JOURNAL OF ECOLOGICAL SOCIETY Val.s 13 and 14, 2000-2001 Biodiversity Profile of an Urban Area Special Double Issue Foreword Urban biodiversity sounds like a misnomer! What diversity of (non-human) life a burgeoning city with three million plus human population is likely to retain? The proof of the pudding is in eating. Here is a gallant attempt to draw a picture of the extant biodiversity of the Pune urban area based on field-work. Enthusiastic collegians under the guidance of their teachers have probed various natural and urban habitats to complete this picture. The wherewithal was provided by Ranwa, a Pune-based NGO deeply interested in the study and conservation of nature. The guest editors for this volume, Prof. Sanjeev Nalavade and Utkarsh Ghate, themselves involved in inspiring this effort have painstakingly edited the available material to give a shape and form that is at once interesting and informative. Hopefully this effort will prove a bench-mark and a useful guide in formulating the future development policies and plans of the Pune urban area. This special double issue is grandly embellished by excellent photographs. Thanks to the contribution made by leading nature photographers of Pune. The web of life that still permeates our urban setting proves the tenacity and adaptive capacities of natural beings in the face of insuperable odds. Notwith- standing the loss of invertebrates and fish species and some of the interesting birds, nature shows extraordinary capabilities to cling to whatever habitat traces that remain. We, the citizens of Pune, must remember that the biodiversity pictured here is not because of any conscious efforts on our part.

    CRADLE OF LEADERSHIP This rich shade of maroon was adopted as the National Defence Academy colour in 1956. It is a synthesis of Olive Green of the Army, Prussian Blue of the Navy, Sky Blue of the Air Force, and Red, the colour of valour and sacrifice. THE CREST of THE Nationa L DEFENCE ACADEMY Designed to foster the spirit of camaraderie among the Services, the insignia is composed of symbols that represent the Army, the Navy and the Air Force. The cross swords stand for the Army’s martial valour, the anchor denotes the stability of the Navy and the Himalayan eagle symbolises the Air Force’s aspiration to touch the skies with glory. The four Asiatic lions standing back to back, adopted from the national emblem and mounted on the Himalayan eagle, depicts pride in serving the motherland while the scroll at the base endorses the ideal of Seva Paramo Dharma or Service before Self.

  • Remote Monitoring of Hovercraft

    Remote Monitoring of Hovercraft

    Case study: Marine Solution: Remote Management Country: UK Company: Griffon Hoverwork Benefits Remote monitoring of m Reduced downtime due to predictive maintenance hovercraft m Faster problem resolution By using Netbiter, Griffon Hoverwork and their customers can m Reports and statistics enable optimized performance such as keep track of their hovercraft wherever they are. The Netbiter decreased fuel consumption for remote management solution gives them online access to vessel new vessels status and operation which means they can reduce service trips and maintenance costs while giving their customers an even more reliable vessel. Hovercraft are marine vessels which operate by creating a cushion of air between the hull of the vessel and the surface below. This makes it possible to operate over almost any flat surface including shallow water, ice, vegetation, mud, logs and debris, rapids and flood plains. One of the world’s leading manufacturers of hovercraft is Griffon Hoverwork Ltd. based in Southampton UK. The challenge — Keeping craft in operation Being a manufacturer of technically advanced vessels which are remote by nature presents certain challenges. If customers need help with repairs or maintenance, service must be offered quickly as every second costs money. So if there is a way to keep track of the vessels remotely, spot problems before they occur and even have spare parts ready – this would save the end customer a lot of time and money. So when Griffon Hoverwork was building a hovercraft for Hovertravel Ltd who offers hovercraft service between Portmouth and the Isle of Wight, they started looking into a remote monitoring system.
