Thanks for your batch of aviation-related photos posted today!
So many have British content, not just the Farnborough Airshow ones, and there are some unusual aeroplanes, such as the prototype Avro Ashton airliner(278), the Short Sperrin as partly re-engined as a de Havilland Gyron test-bed(282) and, if I'm not mistaken, "Ike meets the de Havilland Comet" (302).
I was probably in the crowd next to the runway when the Vulcan flew at Farnborough that day(283).

Can't remember if we've had this before:


That one was a puzzle, long ago.  :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the airplane pics. 303, from 1953, is captioned:

Queen Elizabeth II at the Coronation Review of the RAF at Odiham Hampshire. She inspected 1125 officers and other ranks drawn from all commands of the RAF and over 300 aircraft with crew and personnel. Vehicles and equipment representing all branches of the services were also paraded and the visit ended with a fly past of more than 600 aircraft in review order. Visible aircraft include de Havilland Venom jet fighters (front row, right), B-29 Superfortress long range bombers (middle row), called Boeing Washingtons by the RAF, and American-built F-86 Sabre jet fighter (front row, middle).

301/303 are as you say - as we are celebrating HM's Golden Jubilee this year, perhaps they'll do something similar (but only about 10% of the number of aeroplanes would be there!)
302 is a different event which I can't place, but I think I got the participants right.

Right. 302, from 1957 is captioned:

Sir Harold Macmillan with Eisenhower, a meeting which restored Anglo-US relations (Jan) RAFM

A pedant he say: Harold Macmillan never had a knighthood, but in February 1984 was created Earl of Stockton.

I can hardly believe the XR-6 has only been part of a group puzzle, and not a puzzle in its own right. The "Red Baron", has been a puzzle, but it wasn't red.  :)

Yep, the last one in the previous group was a puzzle.
