When the base museum was closed and its collection dispersed, the second XF-85 prototype languished in an unrestored condition as part of the Tallmantz private collection in California, until being acquired by Offutt AFB. It is now refurbished and displayed on its ground-handling trestle, nestled under the wing of a B-36J bomber (serial number 52-2217).

It’s a nice basic level scientific calculator and the cheapest option that can in theory get you through school mathematics. It lets you deal with fractions nicely and can do things like prime factorisation and recurring decimals well. Because it doesn’t have so many functions as the more advanced calculators it’s easy to use for younger children, but this does mean it is missing a few functions that can be helpful in GCSE and IGCSE exams.

Has all the essentials for GCSE and IGCSE examinations. Graphical calculators absolutely ARE allowed in A-level exams (in fact they are also allowed in GCSE/IGCSE exams) so long as the memory has been reset to delete any possible programmable content (as you can write and save a lot more to the memory of these).
