The Farnborough Samuel F Cody is not the same man as Buffalo Bill Cody. 'Our' Cody changed his name from Cowdery and formed a Cowboy Show, basically to cash in on Buffalo Bill's fame. I suppose today we'd call him a Tribute Act!
I don't know how good 'our' Cody's Cowboy Show was, but when it came to kites and aircraft he was the 'real deal' and a very famous man in his own right. But he wasn't Buffalo Bill.

Talking of the 'real' Buffalo Bill, if you are ever in Colorado and heading from Denver up into the Mountains to ski, you come across a beautiful place mid-way up which has a fantastic bluff which overlooks the plains below and it is here where the 'real' Buffalo Bill is buried....
Piece of useless information!!
