The move from the Sept show in my opinion has improved it, the weather although still not guaranteed is eminently better in July than Sept and the fact that the other big show RIAT is now slap bang in the middle of the Farnborough fortnight also helps with participation at both. I cant help but feel that in the future Farnborough will be just a trade show without an airshow tagged on. Although this will be disappointing we will still see the aircraft arrive and do demo flights but not display as such. We may also see a lot more visiting aircraft during the week so there's always a bright side !
