So, come back 45 years with me to a typical September day at Farnborough - sun peeping through the threatening shower clouds, puddles on the tarmac and brollies and macs well in evidence - a time when the show still took place every year and all the aircraft taking part were British! If you look carefully, you may see some very famous faces and as you look, just remember that although these aircraft are now "classics", at the time these photos were taken, they were at the cutting edge of technology and the latest things in the sky.

I hope you've enjoyed these as much as I have. They certainly bring back memories for me - 1962 was my 4th Farnborough and I was 14 years old.

I have a 'suitable' airframe here waiting for a new lick (a few new licks actually as my current AREA is a Srs2) :o
