1966, Farnborough and Families Day
Mike,
A fantastic write-up. More, please, more!
I lived in Maidenhead during the 60s, so I was very familiar with the sound of Gannets. I was at every Farnborough show from 62 to 70 and I vividly remember the FAA's contributions to the displays. I find it hard to believe that the 66 display all happened in seven minutes. I particularly remember the buddy tanking and the FLY NAVY banners in the Buccaneer bomb bays.
Thanks also for the YouTube links. Besides the FAA footage, there are some very nostalgic sights there. The four-ship Turbulent formation was very impressive and it was nice to see the BAC 221.
