The first aircraft have started arriving at the UK's Farnborough air field, ahead of next week's Farnborough International air show.
Among the stars spotted arriving so far has been RSK MiG's thrust vectored MiG-29 (to be exported as the MiG-35), which wowed crowds at May's ILA Berlin air show (pictured below top).
Also making an arrival is one of the Bell/Boeing MV-22 Osprey tiltrotors, after having made a transatlantic crossing from US Marine Corps base in New River, North Carolina (below middle). The second of the two aircraft scheduled to perform at the show is reportedly stuck in Keflavik air base in Iceland after suffering technical problems en route.
A third aircraft to have made the early journey to Hampshire is the Hindustan Aeronautics HJT-36, the Indian Jet Trainer (bottom).
