Farnborough day two

Day two at Farnborough. Weather was still not kind and we don't really have anything new, but none the less it was an enjoyable day. A press briefing (we don't have press conferences anymore, they are now called briefings and yet some are far from brief - not least the Russian 2 and three quarter hours!) or two, a drink here and there and lots of company information but nothing actually new. The nearest we got to something new was the handover over the Wildcat AW159 to the British government - however 6 have already been delivered. Still, why not. You have a show so let's have something to show.

Blades Extras

Blades did a really good show in the four Extras, even if a little long.

And, of course, it is always nice to see the odd former politician in employment.
