I was eleven for this show - as a childhood Farnborough fanatic. Marvellous video Beags thanks! By the time I got into the Air Force, there was one very senior officer still flying his "own" Meteor and one flight line of Vampires, flyable but for maintenance instruction only. Of course Canberras still in service. But it is great seeing those long- forgotten types - the "insurance" Sperrin, the Vulcan aerodynamic models (one of which was still flying when I got in), the shiny new Valiant. The days when we as a country could still actually DO things. How far we have fallen.
