Aston Martin V8 Vantage Driving Experience

Britain's first Super Car. Mention Aston Martin to anyone and you immediately conjure up images of power, high performance and exclusivity. Prepare to be dazzled with its straight-line speed, thrilled by its cornering powers and deafened with the howl of its 4.2 litre, 380bhp engine.

No other name in motoring combines such class with so much promise of adventure helped to be so by film-maker Cubby Broccoli when he replaced the original Bentley with an Aston to be driven by the legendary British secret agent James Bond. This car most certainly has a licence to thrill - come and experience driving an Aston

Great News! Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) in Fairford announces Vulcan XH558 will be at 2015 show
The Vulcan is the first aircraft announcement for this summer's event and organisers have said it is a perfect fit with their 'securing the skies - past, present and future' theme.

Vulcan To The Sky Trust chief executive Robert Pleming said: We are really delighted to return XH558 to such a prestigious event on the aviation calendar. Vulcan XH558 will fly into the show on Friday, July 17 and will then be on static display as part of a 'pit' experience where visitors get the chance to get up close.

Then on the weekend, July 18-19, the aircraft will soar into the skies above RAF Fairford and perform in the flying display.

Hawker Siddeley Harrier

The Hawker Siddeley Harrier, known colloquially as the Harrier Jump Jet, was developed in the 1960s and formed the first generation of the Harrier series of aircraft. It was the first operational close-support and reconnaissance fighter aircraft with vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) capabilities and the only truly successful V/STOL design of the many that arose in that era. The Harrier was produced directly from the Hawker Siddeley Kestrel prototypes following the cancellation of a more advanced supersonic aircraft, the Hawker Siddeley P.1154. The British Royal Air Force (RAF) ordered the Harrier GR.1 and GR.3 variants in the late 1960s. It was exported to the United States as the AV-8A, for use by the US Marine Corps (USMC), in the 1970s.
The RAF positioned the bulk of their Harriers in West Germany to defend against a potential invasion of Western Europe by the Soviet Union; the unique abilities of the Harrier allowed the RAF to disperse their forces away from vulnerable airbases. The USMC used their Harriers primarily for close air support, operating from amphibious assault ships, and, if needed, forward operating bases. Harrier squadrons saw several deployments overseas. The Harrier's ability to operate with minimal ground facilities and very short runways allowed it to be used at locations unavailable to other fixed-wing aircraft. The Harrier received criticism for having a high accident rate and for a time-consuming maintenance process.
