Went to Farnborough today… what can I say, I thought it was a good show.
Best a/c there were: A318, A340-500/600 and the Eurofighter Typhoon… my god what an a/c… the noise, just beautiful.

RE: Excellent Show
I got Heat Stroke on the 27th cos it was overcast in the morning but during the red arrows cloud broke up! Around 0300 on Sunday morning I was very badly sick :D:D:D:D and was giving out soo much heat from my face (rest of body was covered during day) the rest of my body was shivering like mad!
Hell, I even brought up steak from Friday nights dinner!
I must say that Boeing stand was the best there by far! They had models of every single plane of the family from 717 to 777. Each new edition ( -300 etc) had a smaller model and the overall first edition had the very large model!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-07-02 AT 08:32Â PM (GMT)]Belive me its worth a look, be warned there is alot of ground to be covered… 5 different exhibition halls, loads of a/c’s and a few side stalls.
WARNING… you have to be searched b4 you enter, you have to walk though metal detectors——> because of sept 11. And most importantly, TAKE PLENTY OF SUNTAN CREAM, i got v badly burnt.
But like i said over all i thought it was a great show. 😉

Brilliant!
I’m off there tomorrow and am surprised the commercial stuff was on show after what was said on the forum recently.
I just can’t wait to see the A318 – I’m sure it will look great!
