The Vulcan was the world's first large bomber to employ a delta-wing form, which offers a unique combination of good load carrying capabilities, high subsonic speed at high altitudes and long range. After proving the design with the Avro 707 in 1949, the prototype Vulcan B1, fitted with Olympus engines, first flew on 30 August 1952. It is an enormous aircraft at 31m (102ft) in length and a wingspan of 30m (99ft).
The first production aircraft flew on 5 February 1955 and the second caused a sensation at the Farnborough Air Show by rolling during its demonstration. Vulcans first entered service in 1956 with No.230 Operational Conversion Unit at Waddington. The B2 version entered service on 1 July 1960 and was even bigger, with a 34m (111ft) wingspan and 32m (105ft) in length.
Following the transfer of the nuclear deterrent to the Royal Navy, the B2 was used for low-level tactical duties.
The Museum's aircraft XM598 was selected as reserve aircraft for the bombing raids on Port Stanley airfield during the Falklands campaign and on six occasions was airborne heading for the Falklands. It was never needed since the primary aircraft was able to carry out the raid alone. It was chosen because it had originally been built to carry the Skybolt stand-off bomb and it proved very easy to adapt to carry anti-radar missiles and an Electronic Counter Measures pod. The mountings for these are still fitted under the wings.

The Scottish Aviation Bulldog T Mk 1 was ordered as the standard primary trainer to supersede the De Havilland Chipmunk; it first entered service in April 1973. In all, the RAF received 132 Bulldogs, which equipped the Central Flying School and other units. The Bulldog was a side-by-side trainer that was developed from the Beagle Pup with a more powerful engine and larger canopy.
The Bulldog became the standard aircraft of the University Air Squadrons and, later, Air Experience Flights, providing flying training. The RAF sold off all its remaining Bulldog trainers in 2001 as general aviation light aircraft , and many remain in civilian service today, a number still flying in their original RAF colours. They were replaced by the Grob Tutor.

FV107 Scimitar is an armoured reconnaissance vehicle (sometimes classed as a light tank) used by the British Army and manufactured by Alvis in Coventry. It is very similar to the FV101 Scorpion, but mounts a high velocity 30 mm L21 RARDEN cannon instead of a 76 mm gun.
This Scimitar was used by the RAF Regiment.

I recalled Howard Gardner's lecture at Aalto University in Helsinki three years ago. I checked my notes - the lecture was called Unleashing Change - taking a few steps towards a better world. He said the following: "A lecture changes a person only in a case when s/he's already 99,9% ready for it - the lecture being only the "last bang"".
After all these networked years something crucial is currently revealing to me... To be able to complete the above mentioned 0,1% - we must reorganize the remaining 99,9%. Personal learning ecosystem gives crucial help in scheduling the flow in order to approach the 100% in manageable pieces. - Timing encounters is not everything - but at times it can be the 0,1% itself...
“You must read, you must persevere, you must sit up nights, you must inquire, and exert the utmost power of your mind. If one way does not lead to the desired meaning, take another; if obstacles arise, then still another; until, if your strength holds out, you will find that clear which at first looked dark.”
- Giovanni Boccaccio -
“The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.”
- Chris Evans -
...in life when you stand at a precipice of a decision. When you know there will forever be a Before and an After...I knew there would be no turning back if I designated this moment as my own Prime Meridian from which everything else would be measured.”

...will stop when they recognize the activities of the mind and refuse to follow it any longer. The Wanderer realizes that with the help of the mind they will not be able to surpass the mind. The Wanderer will experience that stopping is the inactive moment of the mind, the silence between thoughts. In that silence, the Wanderer will experience the Consciousness without forms, and recognize that he or she is in fact the Presence without thoughts.”
