Student biographies 
W.H.M. (Malaysia) was employed by the Lands and

photographer/navigator with a Cessna 180 and Leica 
(Wild) RC10 camera. 
A.K.M. (Iran) came from the National Cartographic 
Centre in Tehran where he was employed as an air 
survey photographer and navigator with considerable 
flying experience. Soon after returning from the 
CASP course, he completed a survey in southern 
Iran. He has a Fokker F27 equipped with Leica 
(Wild) RC10 and RC20 cameras and GPS for his 
work. United Nations finance supported his
