Could be that when you've been putting fresh batteries in, the date and time was reset to some arbitrary starting point ... That'd be the first thing to check I reckon...

Nice pic though!

Isn't that the brakes? Looks a bit like a BAe 146.

The panel sticking out of the tail I believe is the airbrake.

Speed brakes, also the APU exhaust is in there, need to open them to let the exhaust out

The aircraft is a RJ70 (equiv to a BAe 146-100) it has better avionics, better engines etc.
The triangle thing sticking out of the back is the AIRBRAKE which there is 2 of them. On top of the wings is the spoilers (also has been called speed brakes)

Actually thats not accurate. The airbake can remain closed, because the exhaust is forward of the airbrake.
On hot days they do leave them open to assist in cooling.
