Highlights of Farnborough Air Show - 1952 | Shell Historical Film Archive
Supersonic fighters and the gas-turbine airliner, which, it is hoped will give Britain a world lead, dominate the 1952 display of the Society of British Aircraft Constructors. Over 300,000 people come to Farnborough to see and hear.
In a Hawker Hunter, Neville Duke flies through the sound barrier at 700 mph. The Vickers Supermarine Swift and the Vickers Supermarine 508 are on show - the latter has a ‘butterfly’ tail, helping to give the wide speed range needed for naval, work. The Avro 707B, low-speed version of the 707A, is now seen to have been planned with a view to development of the world’s first Delta-wing bomber - the Avro 698.
In airliners, besides the Comet and the Viscount, the Bristol Britannia is on show, designed to carry up to 114 passengers, at a cruising speed of 400 mph, for a lower cost per ton-mile than any competitive aircraft. The Bristol 173 is the first British twin-rotor helicopter; able to fly on one engine only, it can vary 13 passengers at speeds of up to 158 mph.

    It's an extraordinary range of aircraft just 7 years after war's end! I think my first Farnborough would have been in about 1954. Neville Duke in the Hunter was always a favourite. Nothing dated about this film, (except the jazz sound track, which to my ears has not worn well!)

      I bought my first Kiwi Fruit there from a bloke selling from the back of his car. In those days they were called Chinese Gooseberries, and they cost 2/6d each. Neville Duke's Hunter was painted in a pale green, but not in bright hi-viz, like today.

    No mention of the disaster that resulted in the deaths of thirty-one people including the aircrew. The fifties were another world. Danger and death seemed to be an accepted thing with the show continuing once the runway was clear. Quite reminiscent of the disaster at Le Mans three years later.

    Made the same year as the Grand Canyon mid-air collision and two years before the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 which helped safety. 8000 died in accidents in the 1960s and there were ten mid-air collisions. Flying was a lot less safe back then.
