I was at that airshow as a young RAF Apprentice.....aircraft everywhere; on the ground, in the sky, on the drawing board....but the aircraft that stole the show was at 1.54; the RR Tyne Lincoln. We knew a lot about Merlins but the Tyne was a mystery....and then it swooped in on the Tyne and soared away, up into the gray skies......spec-tacular!,
I'm pretty sure every airplane that has ever flown along with every object and animal that has ever flown did and does so "at a fraction of the speed of sound".

I’m 67 and I was not born yet and look at those astounding planes
Jolly nice.
Some excellent planes there.
I bet when everyone saw the vulcan they must have thought the future is here.

Because everybody wore evening wear or business suits to airshows in "1956". Especially the people who owned VW Beetles.
