Farnborough spiffing up for ’08 event

Good news for any aerospace exhibitor who ever complained about the infrastructure or utility services available at the Farnborough Air Show: organizer Farnborough International (Hall 2B, Stand 14B) is spending almost $2 million to improve existing and create new facilities at the site, about an hour’s drive southwest of London. There also may be improved arrangements for business aircraft.
Next year’s event, claimed to be the world’s “most iconic” such exhibition and flying display, will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Britain’s first powered flight (by American Samuel Cody) and will mark the event’s own 60th anniversary at the site, with a flypast covering the history of flight, including aircraft that appeared at the 1948 show.
