Farnborough 1988
Farnborough 1988
A few scans of photos taken at Farnborough 1988, 30 years ago this month. Some are cropped and brightened a bit in Photoshop. I imagine there'll be a few people on here who were also there, so hope they are of interest.

Re: Farnborough 1988
As the old singer Maurice Chevalier sang 'AAhhh yes, I remember it well' Very nice of you to remind some of us as to how old we are becoming!!!.[I used to suffer from amnesia once.... but I can't remember when it was!!] Off to my beloved Fuertaventura for a few days on wednesday to leer at beautiful women with my reflective sun glasses to remember my young days. Hope my wife won't notice!!.

Re: Farnborough 1988
Yet another great reminder of yesteryear. I can confirm ZE251 as the F.3
Re: Farnborough 1988
I was there(used to live about a mile away). The Harriers were awesome
Re: Farnborough 1988
Lovely old shots and thanks for sharing them with us.
Oh, those Harriers. I miss them.
There seems to be a Gazelle on fire in shot #6.
Jem60, you have a good time and don't do anything that I wouldn't do.

I was and yes they are, thanks for posting.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

Got to be the F3 for me, flown no doubt by Fred Grundy!

Re: Farnborough 1988
I remember the noise the Harriers made and the sheer size of the AN-124.
Re: Farnborough 1988
Hi Derek
Remember it well, as I was there too
That 124 out-screamed a C5, IMHO
Thanks for posting
