Mike,

The Gliders you saw may have been from one of the many Gliding airfields near by, also they operate Vigilants from Linton at the weekends with Cadets and Scholarships students.The Victor simulator has been there for a while now, there was tlak of getting it up and running for people to use and see but weather or not this is the case I am unsure, the same for the JP sim. The Two Nado tails I can only assume they are something to do with the two resident Nados on show there. The Wing in the main hanger has puzzled me ever since I saw it! No idea what it is from or what it is for!

Hope that Helps

Jamie
