Farnborough of old :-)
 

A friend just posted this on Facebook and I thought I would share it on here. No old enough to have served when most of these types were brand new but no doubt a few of the more elder statesmen in here may remember some of them.

FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW (aka THE AIR SHOW) - British Pathe

I do believe my father was flying Vampires in 1956...

Nice find...

Sad, sad last spoken line on the clip.

Empire of the Clouds.... :rolleyes:

Ahh yes - when SBAC meant "Society of British Aircraft Constructors" instead of "Society of British Aircraft Companies".

"It can concentrate on improving the winners it had already picked..."

As the camera focuses on the Supermarine Swift.
