Farnborough Airshow photos

I'm currently going through over 250 photos taken at the Farnborough Airshow today. It was a good day, with plenty to see inside and out. Perhaps even too much - I was often torn between seeing the air display and the stands inside. There wasn't much dealing going on - that all went on last week. The weekend is for the public, so most of the stands have a skeleton staff, mainly handing out freebies rather than taking orders for millions of pounds worth of aircraft.

Look out for the airshow pics on my personal photo gallery.

Here's an interesting news story about a B52 which, scheduled to appear at Farnborough one day last week actually missed the airfield completely and ended up going around another airfield a few miles away. Makes you wonder how they manage with precision-bombing sorties thousands of miles from home!
