Communication systems are vital for military and professional users. This lecture will focus on some of the radio systems that were developed during the 1980s. This was a period of rapid advances in electronics and some of these will be described. The presenter worked as an engineer for Racal during that time and will bring some radio hardware to the lecture. These include the Racal BCC Jaguar V frequency hopping manpack and the Racal BCC 39 HF manpack.

London relies on a 150-year-old sewer system built for a population less than half its current size. As a result, millions of tonnes of raw sewage spills, untreated, into the River Thames each year. The solution is to construct the Thames Tideway Tunnel, a 25km Super Sewer tunnel that will clean up and reconnect Londoners with the River Thames.
