Farnborough Takes Off

The Farnborough Airshow started today with a flurry of press releases and announcements. Cessna led the pack with a total of 5 press releases followed by Gulfstream with 3 and the rest of the business aviation pack had one or two. A lot of these press releases are made up well in advance and simply say that such and such a company has decided to add pewter lav handles to the their complement of interior completion options (hardly a noteworthy event in the whole of business aviation, unless you manufacture lav handles). Most of these will be ingnored unless they touch on a topic that hasn't been covered previously.

I will add some of the relevant press releases as the day and week passes. Due to the sheer volume I may truncate some of these to save your eyes and I may post some without any editorial commentary as they will most likely be self-explanatory.

Let me know if you have any funny or strange Farborough experiences that you'd like to share with the rest of the group.
