Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
UK Perspectives is a collaboration between Simmons Aerofilms and NRSC, the two largest aerial mapping and survey companies in the United Kingdom. Its objective is to 'jointly acquire new aerial photography of the United Kingdom at 1:10,000 scale and produce high quality, map accurate digital aerial imagery'. Simmons Mapping (UK) Limited and Aerofilms Limited are wholly owned subsidiaries of Simmons Geomatics Group and together provide 'total aerial & mapping solutions'. Aerofilms is believed to be the world's oldest commercial aerial photographic company and in more recent times produced the BBC's EastEnders title sequence.
The National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), was formed in 1980 as a government centre of excellence for earth observation data and in 1991 became a private limited company. Today it specialises in the supply of satellite and airborne data and value added mapping services.
