I've attended Farnborough for years from the days when if one attended in service uniform entry was free, to the last one I observed from the top of a BMW car dealers observation platform near the end of the runway in 2018.
Anyway a couple of shots from my photo album showing what was on show in the 1970's/1980's.
Regarding the two Harriers I asked the late John Farley who was piloting these two Harriers as to the likely date and he commented "Your G-VTOL smoke pic was 1976 and the IN SHAR climb out was 1982" - so a long time ago.












Comet - not sure of the mark 4 perhaps?. Viewers went In at the front (left) and out of the back (right)


Interior of B.777 (or Airbus) I think





This tiny Bede BD5J was photo'd in the 1970's. It was piloted by James Bond in the 007 film "Octopussy"
