History The Farnborough Airshow has its origins in the annual RAF Airshow at Hendon (1920–1937) and was established by the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC), which was founded in 1916. The SBAC held a small exhibition at Hendon on 27 June 1932 as the show-piece for the British aircraft industry, at which 35 aircraft were exhibited by 16 companies. With a break for World War II the show recommenced at Radlett in 1946 and was held there until 1948 when the show moved to its present location of Farnborough in Hampshire, approximately 30 miles south west of central London. The headquarters of the UK's principal aerospace firm, BAE Systems, is also in Farnborough. The Royal Air Force (RAF) is the air force branch of the British Armed Forces. ...

Initially an annual event, in 1962 it changed to its present biennial format. The second change was that it became an international event with exhibitors from all over the world, the exception, until recently, being those countries from behind the Iron Curtain. It is currently held at Farnborough Airfield in mid July in every even numbered year, alternating with the Paris Air Show and is therefore held in the same years as the Berlin Air Show (ILA). Countries behind the Iron Curtain are shaded red. ...
