Farnborough - Golden Years 1949 - 1959 : short review
From the archives of the famous Imperial War Museum comes a treasured look at history in the making - Farnborough, Britain's greatest air show. Witness the show from 1949 through to 1959 recorded on newsreels shown in the cinemas of the day.

Features a whole range of aircraft, including: Aiglet, Alpha, Brabazon, Comet, Dart, Herald, Hunter, Sea Hawk, Westminster and many others.
