Not sure if this is the right forum but I'm sure the mods will move it if it isn't.
Anyway, looking through the list of what is coming to Farnborough http://www.farnborough.com/Aircraft/aircraft.asp I noticed there is nothing from BAE SYSTEMS at all. This must the first time the UKs biggest aerospace company can't find anything to send.
The Nimrod MR.2, Harrier and Hawk T.1 are from the RAF and there is no Typhoon on the list either. I know they don't build civil aircraft anymore but this seems to be a poor effort. I wonder if the sponsorship of RIAT has anything to do with the lack of support at FI2004
A long way from the 1986 "Chariots of Fire" thing.
