In pictures: Farnborough air show

300,000 British jobs rely on this event each year so what did the BBC show all afternoon? Golf!

To be fair Dutchy, the grass at St Andrews did look good in HD.

Inside Story - The Farnborough Airshow

I love air shows. The only one I normally attend is the Eastbourne one. It's a free event held on the sea front and attracts thousands of visitors each year.

What a pity the BBC showed golf instead of the Farnborough one - but typical. Sport seems to be taking over the tv lately.

And it's athletics all next week Polly on all BBC channels
