Farnborough Airport
Farnborough became the location of the first powered flight in Britain when, on 5 October 1908, Samuel Cody took to the air in his British Army Aeroplane No 1.
The airfield is the home of the Farnborough Airshow which takes place on even numbered years. It is also home to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch, part of the Department for Transport.
