I think my late uncle was CO at Farnborough at the time and as a result of looking through his cuttings recently had a conversation with my father who flew at a couple of Farnborough airshows. He recalled that all the aircraft were dispersed to Odiham and crews lived in tents that were somewhat knit ridden. Is it the case that the number of collected aircraft was the largest of its kind in history - some 400 plus - or am I fantasizing?
