Home to the famous biennial Farnborough Air Show, the town of
Farnborough in the South of England has had a pivotal role in the
history of British aviation since flying commenced from the site in
1905. The Royal Aeronautical Establishment was set up there and
rapidly expanded as the scene of many significant developments in
British aviation for many decades. Over the years, a range of
buildings were constructed for various purposes and to house
specific functions such as wind tunnels. Many of these building are
now listed and protected as part of a museum on the site.
Farnborough is best known for its experiments and development of
aircraft types. After the Second World War, it played host to a
considerable variety of aircraft including a number of Axis types
captured during the war. Beautifully illustrated and written by a
leading aviation expert, SBAC Farnborough: A History is the
definitive book on the subject of Farnborough from 1932 onwards.
