British aviation at its height.

[Eric Mc]

Hmmm - no mention of Derry's disaster in the DH110.

It has it's own Pathe news reel - http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=30303

On the issue dates, the first one was made after the first few days (4th September) and the DH101 crashed on day 6 and the extra (above) was made on the 11th September.

Farnborough 1964 in colour - http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=43560

Starts with "foreign orders have declined". The start of the rot?

And 1961, good times and lots of promise. - http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=42681

British designs, with a couple of notable exceptions, were never great sellers - especially civilian aircraft. BOAC (and sometimes BEA) were often forced by the government to buy British designs.
