The British Aircraft industry is making a new push in the face of declining foreign sales and at Farnborough they put on a spanking display of new craft. From the VC Ten Transport to private planes, they offer something for everyone, they hope. As a grand finale there's an air show that unveils some super-doper flying. Aerial shot of the Farnborough's airport. Throngs walking around the new aircraft being showcased at the Farnborough's air and field show. The Vulcan, a long range bomber. The VC10 coming in for a landing. The military demonstrates an aerial assault on the enemy as helicopters fly in formation with artillery hanging from the helicopters bellies. A British Marine slides down a wire from a hovering helicopter. The crowd. The Red Pelicans taxing down the runway and then taking off in unison. Once in the air, this becomes an aerial shot looking down at the Pelicans flying wing tip to wing tip, this is really precession flying at its best with the heavens as their back-drop.
