The attached photograph shows part of the static display at the Farnborough
air show on 29 October 1945. In addition to various previously-secret British
prototypes, it included an 'Enemy Aircraft' line-up and Moloch's Reichenberg
(and its neighbours) can be seen in the centre of the picture.

Two additional points:

- I confess I hadn't realised just how big the Do 335 was

- the flying display included an He 163 and an Me 262.

Just seeing the Do 335, Dornier Arrow, gives me goose bumps. A
brilliant, beautiful design.

That would have been a display to remember...
