Thanks for your reply.
I did find SAR Image Processor after I had responded to your last
message. However, I am running a Linux OS so unfortunately cannot run
it.
I did however use interpolation to improve the quality of my image, so
thank you for that suggestion. I have uploaded my "best" attempt at
restoring the image, and it can be seen at:

To get to this point, I have used blind deconvolution, and then
interpolated the result. I'm quite happy with this outcome, although
it is a little blurry. What do you all think?
Ideally, I would like to "fix" the edges in some way, as they are
still a bit blocky, and I would like to sharpen the whole image
slightly - but I think I may be hoping for a bit too much! ;)
If anyone has any further suggestions to improve this image, I would
be really grateful. Nearly there...
Kind regards,
AJ
