Re: A week is a long time in politics
Well yes, it has happened many times before, but the UK aviation industry in 1945 had been driven by, thankfully, unusual circumstances for the preceding 6 years.
Until 1966, more than 20 years after the Second World War ended, as the trade show of the Society of British Aircraft Constructors, the Farnborough Airshow exhibited only British aircraft.
In 1964, it included VC10 and Trident airliners, Hunter and Lightning fighters, Vulcan bomber, BAC 221 delta wing plane, Harrier jump jet prototype, Turbo Skyvan and Andover transports, Jet Provost and Gnat trainers, HS 125, Hawker Siddeley 748, Beagle, Handley Page Herald, Shorts Belfast etc.
