The formation sign displays the white " Sachsenross " or Saxon steed on a red background within a yellow and white shield . The steed recalls the Welf dukes and the Kingdom of Hanover . The original Saxon tribal emblem was adopted in 1235 by the Welf dukes , the Dukes of Brunswick and Lüneburg , as an additional coat of arms . Through the amalgamation of part of the Lüneburg - Brunswick region with the Principality , later Kingdom , of Hanover the Saxon steed appeared in 1705 on the escutcheon of the kingdom ' s coat of arms surrounded by the main yellow and white shield . On the foundation of the state of Lower Saxony in 1952 the Saxon steed on a red field became the coat of arms of the state . The white border of the coat of arms , in embroidery shown as a white cord - represents the usual heraldic custom of the German Army : white borders were always the formation signs of the " first " brigades in a division . The superior division as well as the other two brigades in the division traditionally bore an identical formation sign apart from the white border . On the disbandment of the Brigade the sign continued to be worn by Panzerlehrbrigade 9 , which gave up its old sign in 2006 . The white border remains . Commanders . The brigade commanders were ( rank on taking over ) :

Chief of the Defence Staff ( United Kingdom ) The Chief of the Defence Staff ( CDS ) is the professional head of the British Armed Forces and the principal military adviser to the British Government . Constitutionally , the British Monarch is the Commander - in - Chief of the Armed Forces and therefore is senior to the CDS . In practice the Government provide direction through the Defence Council of which the CDS is a member . The post was created in 1959 to reflect the new conceptions of joint operations that had come to the fore in World War II . Prior to the creation of the post , Sir William Dickson served as the Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee from 1956 onwards . Before 1956 , although no permanent post of chairman existed , the three service chiefs took it in turn to act as chairman . From the creation of the post until 1997 , the Chief of the Defence Staff was appointed to the highest rank in the branch of the British armed forces to which he belonged , being an Admiral of the Fleet , a Field Marshal or Marshal of the Royal Air Force , ( NATO rank code OF - 10 ) . However , with the post - Cold War size of the British Armed Forces and the reasoning that no new Field Marshals are to be routinely appointed in peacetime , since 1997 the Chief of the Defence Staff has been appointed at the rank of Admiral , General or Air Chief Marshal , ( NATO OF - 9 ) . The CDS is supported by a deputy , the Vice - Chief of the Defence Staff , who since 1997 has been of equivalent rank but is ordinarily from a different service to the CDS . The current Chief of the Defence Staff is Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup who succeeded General Sir Michael Walker on 28 April 2006 . He is to be succeeded by David Richards in October 2010 .

General Dynamics F - 16 VISTA The General Dynamics ( now Lockheed Martin ) F - 16 VISTA ( " Variable stability In - flight Simulator Test Aircraft " ) is an experimental aircraft , derived from the F - 16 Fighting Falcon . The F - 16 VISTA testbed aircraft incorporated a multi - axis thrust vectoring ( MATV ) engine nozzle that provides for more active control of the aircraft in a post - stall situation . The resulting aircraft is supermaneuverable , retaining pitch and yaw control at angles of attack beyond which the traditional control surfaces cannot change attitude . The VISTA program was considered successful , but the thrust vector control ( TVC ) never made it into production fighter versions . The program was also notable for the development of Direct Voice Input and the " Virtual HUD " , which were both eventually to be incorporated into the cockpit design for the F - 35 Lightning II . The STOVL F - 35 variants also incorporate MATV while hovering to provide attitude control . The VISTA aircraft is now directly operated and maintained by the US Air Force Test Pilot School . It is regularly used in student curriculum sorties , and other special academic projects . Specifications . The F - 16 VISTA is a Block 30 F - 16D based on the airframe design of the Israel Air Force version , which incorporates a dorsal fairing running the length of the fuselage aft of the canopy and a heavyweight landing gear derived from the Block 40 F - 16 C / D . The fairing houses most of the variable - stability equipment and test instrumentation . The heavyweight gear will permit simulation of aircraft with higher landing sink rates than a standard F - 16 .
