Farnborough on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the S.B.A.C.: The display this year will be of special significance and will reflect the changing face of the industry Available to Purchase

OUTWARDLY, this month's Flying Display and Exhibition organised by the Society of British Aerospace Companies will probably look very much like its predecessors at Farnborough: rows of tented manufacturers' enclosures on the green hillside over‐looking the runway; a vast exhibition hall with assorted missibles pointing skywards outside it; thousands of foreign visitors, many of them in uniform, on the trade days; a flying programme in the afternoons, with aircraft taking‐off and landing so strictly to time as to form a continuously changing pattern of different types; and on the public days, crowds of up to a hundred thousand.
