@dwhistory: Footage from the Farnborough Air Show, 1950, in the United Kingdom. The Farnborough Air Show was one of the world’s premier air shows, where the newest British aircraft would be unveiled and spectators could see some of the newest designs in flight. Included in this first of three clips is the Electric Canberra, De Havilland Venom, and the Gloster Meteor. #farnboroughairshow #1950 #jet #aircraft #historytok
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...

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
