Farnborough Airshow 1962

[Deleted]

Not seen this Pathe News film before, such good quality, highlights are FAST's G-ARRM at the beginning, Hunter formation take off ! Lightening departures..Blimey, talk about like a rocket ! , Hunter and Lightening formation...very tight ! and that's what I call a run and break !! and finally the Trident over the airfield at the end, I can even see my road :-)

nice post - that is a wicked film - bet that VC10 deafened a few photographers

(my first Farnborough was in 1972 and already the Trident seemed 'old hat')

hi,

     can anyone, if any at the 62 show, remember a navy formation of 9 Sea Vixens, followed by another 9 of 5 Sea Vixens( Freds 5) with 4 Scimitars tucked in behind? and more importantly their codes or serials...

thanks and regards,
