Farnborough Airshow - Useful Information
History
The Farnborough Airshow has its origins in the annual RAF Airshow at Hendon (1920–1937) and was created by the Society of British Aircraft Constructors (SBAC), which had been founded in 1916. The SBAC held a small exhibition at Hendon in 1932 as the show-piece for the British aircraft industry, at which 35 aircraft were exhibited by 16 companies. With a break for the Second World War the show restarted at Radlett (the site of Handley Page's airfield) in 1946 and was held there until 1948 when the show moved to its present location of Farnborough home of the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Hampshire.
Initially an annual event, in 1962 it changed to its current biennial format. The second change was that it became an international event with exhibitors from all over the world. It is currently held at Farnborough Airfield in mid July in every even numbered year, alternating with the Paris Air Show.
Current Show
There are five indoor exhibition halls and an outdoor aircraft static display. Demonstrations flights and a flying display are held each day of the show. On the last two days the general public are admitted, and some non-commercial items are added to the static and flying displays e.g. Red Arrows.
