Those of you that remember the Neston School ISS Amateur Radio contact a couple of years back, will be pleased to know that the Head Teacher (Linda Davies) received a Pride of Britain award.

The ISS school contact was of tremendous interest to the programme director etc.

UK Astronaut Piers Sellers (shown here presenting the award to Linda) also received an award himself.

An edited clip (4min 38sec) of the full programme (1hr 30min) can be found as:

• MPEG-2 720x576 16:9 (mp2 audio) - 111MB
  
• MPEG-4 640x360 16:9 (aac audio) - 40MB (QuickTime format)
• XviD 640x360 16:9 (mp3 audio) - 38MB
  
• XviD 640x360 16:9 (mp3 audio) - low bitrate version - 15MB
  

at www.uk.amsat.org/POB plus some larger versions of these images taken from the MPEG-2 clip - I recommend using the FREE VLC program to play these video clips as it works on MacOSX/Windows/Linux and some vendor based players may not handle them correctly.
