Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: The Farnborough Show. DESCRIPTION: It is Farnborough time again, the Society of British Aircraft Constructors’ twentieth annual display. As a glance at the static display reveals, there are plenty of new attractions to see: the Saunders-Roe Hovercraft, a Blackburn product, the NA39, the Westland Westminster, to name a few of them.
