| Wonwings diary-When we really did have an aircraft industry in the UK.
FARNBOROUGH With Farnborough airshow around the corner once again here is something to remind ourselves of the fine aircraft industry that we once had,see if you can identify some of the aircraft in this nostalgic picture. Here is something very different,a flashback to Farnborough in the sixties taken by Dave Peace,the SBAC shows are a far cry from the ones held then when British products were the prime reason for this prestigious event,some aircraft just getting in by the skin of their teeth having fulfilled the test flying time in order to appear,it is a great snapshot of Farnborough airshows long since gone but never forgotton.
