Attending Farnborough even on a trade day as I did, is not for the faint-hearted these days. The flying displays are pretty so-so, you end up walking MILES and queuing for ages - as you do if you've come by car.
When I went as a guest of BMI, it was like feeding time at the zoo, I couldn't believe the fights that would take place amongst the trade guests when one stand or another would put some free pens or badges out on the counter.. To see grown men in suits fighting over a cheap pen was a sight to behold.
