Farnborough town 12days to the show
Looking around Farnborough you would be pushed
to see any mention of the Airshow in 12 days time
when the eyes of the world are on the Airfield.
Possibly the Road signs and no parking signs
are the only things and one or two bookshops
might have the Odd book or two on show
that's about all there ever is . No Flags banners
nothing in this Very Dull Town to Welcome
thousands of visitors its as though people
don't really care .

Farnborough parking a Word of warning
All around the Airfield police signs are going up giving
notice of NO Parking and Tow away zones . if you
must bring a car into farnborough to see the arrivals
after the 7th I suggest using the town carparks and
walk up the a325 . Dont forget to put a Ticket on
the windscreen even at weekends you must pay
big charge if you dont or run out of time.
