# Remote Sensing Applications Consultants Ltd
Remote Sensing Applications Consultants Ltd operates as a specialist distributor and information provider for Aerofilms Limited, one of the world's oldest commercial aerial photography companies established in 1919. Based in Somerset, the consultancy leverages Aerofilms' unrivalled archive of over 2.25 million aerial images spanning more than a century.
The business serves diverse sectors including local authorities, engineering firms, environmental organisations, urban planners, GIS professionals and corporate clients requiring high-quality aerial imagery for mapping, design and analysis. Their clientele ranges from the Environment Agency and Ordnance Survey to major infrastructure projects like the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and BBC Productions.
What distinguishes this operation is access to an exceptionally comprehensive photographic record documenting Britain's transformation throughout the 20th century. Their vertical photography collection dates from the 1940s onwards, maintained through ongoing annual captures using GPS-equipped aircraft and Forward Motion Compensation cameras. They pioneered ortho-photography through the MAPS® (Millennium Aerial Photographic Survey) project, delivering 3D digital photographic maps with 25cm ground resolution accuracy.
The consultancy provides both archival imagery in hard copy and digital formats, alongside contemporary aerial survey services. Their oblique archive of approximately 1.3 million historical images represents an invaluable national heritage resource for archaeological, historical and social documentation purposes. This combination of extensive historical data and cutting-edge digital mapping technology positions them uniquely within the UK remote sensing sector.
