Thank you for posting them, they are very nice.
At an airshow that mainly (and quite rightly) focuses on the new, its good to see such a historic airfield can also let the old join in.

100% in agreement with you 🙂
The two stars of the day.
Although both aircraft are still in production, both the original designs are nearing historic status.

Display performances of the day were the South African 747 and the Super Hornet.

….were they staging them shorter before????
If you mean the duration of the display, then no.
Saturdays display was relatively short, only about 3 1/4 hours long, where as if I remember correctly the flying programme would run almost all day, but this was back in the 80’s.
Then again the display was not designed for a trade audience.
Unfortunately some of the individual displays were very short, one pass from the Nighthawk, B52, the VC 10 tanker combo.
Display performances of the day were the South African 747 and the Super Hornet.

Saturday at Farnborough.
——————————————————————————–
The SBAC may longer stage shows at Farnborough in the future so after a long absence I felt it was time to return.
Heres a few photos of the historic types.
