An Introduction to the Twenty‐fourth S.B.A.C. Flying Display and Exhibition

THE Twenty‐fourth S.B.A.C. Flying Display and Exhibition to be held at Farnborough during the week Monday,September 7, to Sunday, September 13, promises to be the most interesting ever held. This is in part due to the decision taken in 1962 not to hold an S.B.A.C. Show in the summer of 1963, and partly the result of the effort now being concentrated upon the Concord supersonic airliner project, the TSR‐2 supersonic strike and reconnaissance bomber, the Hawker Siddeley P. 1154 V/STOL fighter, two new research aircraft and a whole range of new transport aircraft. Apart from the models and displays which will be mounted by the major airframe and engine manufacturers demonstrating their own involvement with these projects and programmes, the stands of the Associate Members of the Society of British Aerospace Companies will abound with examples of materials, techniques and equipment which these companies are producing in support of the latest programmes—notably TSR.2 and Concord.
