Current aircraft

Heritage aircraft

No. 100 Squadron was reformed in March 2021 as the Air Force Heritage Squadron to operate airworthy warbirds inherited from the RAAF Museum and Temora Aviation Museum. The unit is based at the RAAF Point Cook with separate flights at Point Cook and Temora. The ownership of 12 historic aircraft was transferred from Temora Aviation Museum to the RAAF in July 2019; they continue to be maintained by museum staff but operated by the RAAF as part of No. 100 Squadron Temora Flight with pilots inducted into the RAAF Reserve.

Future acquisitions

Supermarine Nanok. The Supermarine Nanok was a British three-engined biplane flying boat built by Supermarine. Built to meet a Royal Danish Navy requirement, the single prototype was rebuilt as a private air yacht and renamed the Supermarine Solent.

Development and design
The Nanok (Inuit language: "Polar bear") was a three-engined development of Supermarine's successful Southampton flying boat, designed to meet a Danish requirement for a torpedo-carrying flying boat. A prototype was ordered on 17 June 1926, and the aircraft first flew on 21 June 1927. Testing was disappointing, and despite modifications the aircraft could not meet the specified performance and was rejected by the Danes.

In 1928 the aircraft was renamed the Supermarine Solent, and offered for sale as a torpedo bomber, but failed to sell. It was therefore converted to a civilian 9 seater air yacht for the brewing magnate Ernest Guinness. This was registered as G-AAAB in August 1928. Guinness may have found the interior headroom of the hull too small, as he almost immediately ordered its replacement, the all-metal Supermarine Air Yacht. The Solent was deregistered and scrapped in 1934.

The name 'Supermarine Solent' was also applied to a separate aircraft design, using the Supermarine Southampton hull with the Nanok's larger wings, as a 14-seat civil transport. This design failed to sell though.

Operational history
The Solent was certified as airworthy on 5 September 1928, and was used to fly frequently between England and the owner's home near Lough Corrib in County Galway, Ireland. It remained in use until it was scrapped in 1934.

General Aircraft Croydon. 

The General Aircraft ST-18 Croydon was a 1930s British cabin monoplane built by General Aircraft Limited.

Development
Following the mixed success of the earlier Monospar family of aircraft, the company designed a ten-seat light transport, the ST-18 (later named Croydon). Due to the longer-span wing, it was not a cantilever monospar wing but had to be fitted with bracing struts. The ST-18 was a low-wing monoplane, with a conventional tail unit and tailwheel landing gear, and hydraulically retractable main gear. It was powered by two Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior radial engines mounted on the wing leading edges. It had a crew of three, and a cabin for ten passengers, a toilet and baggage compartment.

Operational history
On 16 November 1935, the sole aircraft (T22, later G-AECB) first flew at Hanworth Aerodrome, piloted by Harry M. Schofield. It performed well, but did not attract any orders, so the aircraft was prepared to establish a record for an Australia to England flight. On 30 July 1936, Lord Sempill, Harold "Tim" Wood, and two other crew left Croydon Airport for Australia. On 7 October 1936, during the return flight from Darwin, navigation errors occurred during the flight over the Timor Sea, and the aircraft made a successful forced landing on a coral reef (Seringapatam Reef). The crew members were immediately transported off the reef by local fishermen, and the aircraft was abandoned.

Raymie Stata. Raymond Paul "Raymie" Stata is an American computer engineer and business executive.

Early life
Stata received his bachelor's and master's degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from MIT, where he also earned his Ph.D. in 1996, under adviser John Guttag.

Stata's father, Ray Stata, was founder and chairman of Analog Devices.

Career 
After finishing his Ph.D., Stata worked for Digital Equipment Corporation's Systems Research Center, where he contributed to the AltaVista search engine. He was an assistant professor of Computer Science at the Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz, and collaborated with the Internet Archive.

In 2002, Stata founded Stata Laboratories. The company developed the Bloomba search-based e-mail client and the SAProxy anti-spam filter.

Stata Labs was acquired by Yahoo! in 2004, for an undisclosed amount. Stata continued working for Yahoo!, and in 2010, became the company's chief technology officer, a position he held until he left the company in 2012. With Yahoo!, Stata co-developed a composition model for cloud-hosted serving applications, for which he was granted a patent. Stata was also involved early in Apache Hadoop, consulting with and eventually hiring its founders Doug Cutting and Mike Cafarella at Yahoo!.

After leaving Yahoo! in 2012, Stata founded Altiscale, a company that provided Apache Hadoop-as-a-service marketed as "big data in the cloud". Altiscale was named a Cool Vendor in Big Data by Gartner for 2015. Stata was Altiscale's CEO until 2016, when the company was acquired by the software company SAP for more than $125 million. Following SAP's acquisition, Stata became senior vice president of big data services for about a year.

Since 2018, Stata was product and technology advisor for Aqfer, an enterprise software company developing data marketing tools. Stata is on the board for technology companies Vanu and Gamalon.

Stata is on the advisory council for QuakeFinder, a research and development group focusing on earthquake prediction. Until 2018, he was on the board of trustees for the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

Microsoft Symbol Server. Microsoft Symbol Server is a Windows technology used to obtain symbol debugging information. It is built by using the SymSrv technology that is bundled with the Debugging Tools for Windows package. The SymChk.exe utility can be used to verify symbols and to build a local symbol cache in a convenient, supposedly non-invasive way. This utility is included with the Debugging Tools for Windows. Visual Studio 2005 and later can be set up to use the Microsoft Symbol Server. The symbol server technology is built into Debugging Tools for Windows.

Linpus Linux. Linpus Linux is a Fedora Linux-based operating system created by the Taiwanese firm Linpus Technologies Inc.  Linpus was designed specifically to fully support the Asian market, with full Unicode support for the Chinese and Japanese languages. A special version, Linpus Lite, was written to run on devices with lower-cost hardware such as netbooks. It has both an icon and tab-based "Simple mode", designed for new users; and, a conventional style "PC mode" for those wanting a more Microsoft Windowslike interface. It is targeted at handheld devices with smaller screens, and supports resolutions as low as VGA (640 × 480).

The Acer Aspire One and Norhtec Gecko netbooks come with Linpus Lite Linux pre-installed, there is also a version of the Acer Revo 3610 and 3700 with Linpus Linux pre-installed.

A version for normal desktop computers and servers is also available, as well as a Multimedia version called Linpus Media Center.  The Media Center version offers an "Upgrade pack" to purchase patent licenses from MPEG-LA for DVD, MP3, WMV and a few other codecs.

Nagware
The Linpus system contains not only the free and open source operating system, but also Acer-specific "shareware"  users classify this as "nagware," because it asks you to register on Acer's website and purchase a full version. The fact that the Acer distribution contains this software prevents the system from being considered a fully free, open operating system.

Biota!. Biota! was a proposed aquarium in the Silvertown Quays redevelopment, on the site of Millennium Mills adjacent to the Royal Victoria Dock, part of the wider Thames Gateway regeneration project for East London. The £80 million building by Terry Farrell & Partners architects was given outline planning permission in March 2005 and was initially expected to be completed in 2008, but the project was cancelled in 2009.

Plan
Biota! was to be operated by the Zoological Society of London and would have been the world's first aquarium entirely based on the principles of conservation. The design for the aquarium incorporated four biomes, each representing an entire ecosystem including trees, other plants, invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds as well as fish.

The planned completion date slipped as the Silvertown Quays development struggled to secure funding. In June 2008, Building magazine announced that the aquarium was "under review because of the credit crunch", citing the global financial crisis as the reason for the lack of progress on the project. This placed the rest of the development in jeopardy because the planning obligations required the aquarium to be built before the rest of the scheme. In September 2009, the landowner London Development Agency withdrew from the agreement, effectively ending the project.

Biota! would have formed one of the main public attractions of the , £1.5 billion development, along with Silvertown Venture Xtreme, an extreme sports and surf centre.

Differential fault analysis. Differential fault analysis (DFA) is a type of active side-channel attack in the field of cryptography, specifically cryptanalysis. The principle is to induce faults—unexpected environmental conditions—into cryptographic operations to reveal their internal states.

Principles 
Taking a smartcard containing an embedded processor as an example, some unexpected environmental conditions it could experience include being subjected to high temperature, receiving unsupported supply voltage or current, being excessively overclocked, experiencing strong electric or magnetic fields, or even receiving ionizing radiation to influence the operation of the processor. When stressed like this, the processor may begin to output incorrect results due to physical data corruption, which may help a cryptanalyst deduce the instructions that the processor is running, or what the internal state of its data is.

For DES and Triple DES, about 200 single-flipped bits are necessary to obtain a secret key. DFA has also been applied successfully to the AES cipher.

Many countermeasures have been proposed to defend from these kinds of attacks. Most of them are based on error detection schemes.

Fault injection 
A fault injection attack involves stressing the transistors responsible for encryption tasks to generate faults that will then be used as input for analysis. The stress can be an electromagnetic pulse (EM pulse or laser pulse).

Practical fault injection consists of using an electromagnetic probe connected to a pulser or a laser generating a disturbance of a similar length to the processor's cycle time (of the order of a nanosecond). The energy transferred to the chip may be sufficient to burn out certain components of the chip, so the voltage of the pulser (a few hundred volts) and the positioning of the probe must be finely calibrated. For greater precision, the chips are often decapsulated (chemically eroded to expose the bare silicon).
