We seemed to be making new aircraft every week and Concorde project was a few years away. Now we struggle to build a railway line between Birmingham and London.

What was the De Havilland obsession with twin tail booms? Vampire, Venom, Sea Vixen...

That first one looks suspiciously AI to me. I never heard of it before.

When we had an aircraft industry as successive government failed to back these companies

The English Electric Canberra was a world beater; the others not so much

To think that many there would’ve witnessed the birth of aviation with small biplanes in the Great War, to space age technology of jets in a few short decades

My goodness, I remember Farnborough from 1977 I think. Blackpool on Sunday was such a let down in comparison.

I watched the 1960 show on you tube last week and realised that we are completely lost in the UK. There must have been 30 or more British companies making aircraft. There were 15 or twenty just making helicopters! Now nothing, not a thing we lost it all
