Farnborough 100 years Flypast

Celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the first powered flight in the UK by SF Cody at Farnborough by watching their flypast then taking to the skies myself for a flight down to the Isle of Wight.

This last one shows the Vulcan parked at Farnborough and you can just see the FAST museum in the bottom right.

Thanks for that. I’d really convinced myself it was a Hawk: sackcloth and ashes time now!

Nice ones. What’s the aircraft parked in the bottom RH corner of the final pic? Looks a bit like one of the very early Hawks, but can anyone confirm?

Looking at the FAST website it is either a Jaguar XW566 or a Hunter WV383.
