    1998 – Celebrating Past and Present Technology

    The 50th Anniversary of the first Farnborough show was heralded in 1998 and there were some extra items added to the display programme.

    This included some vintage aircraft including DH Vampire, DH Venom, Hawker Hunters, EE Canberra, Gloster Meteor, plus many propellor types that were statically displayed, although some did fly, giving an indication of what had been seen before over the previous 50 years.

    Many Airbus types were also present both on the ground and in the air with the A330-243 performing some majestic high-alpha passes and tight turns and the outsize cargo aircraft, the A300-600ST Beluga.

    Five of these outsize cargo freight aircraft were built, converted from a basic Airbus A300-600 airframe.
