Meet the Advance team at Farnborough

The team behind ADS' official Advance publication and online daily news service, will be at Farnborough next week - Stand B21 in Hall 1 - and invite trade visitors to drop by and pick up a copy of the latest issue of the magazine.

This special Farnborough 2012 edition of Advance highlights the show's key attractions and a number of the innovative products and services being showcased by companies from the UK and overseas.

As Farnborough is taking place in a special year for the UK - with the celebration of Her Majesty The Queen's Golden Jubilee and the hosting of the Olympics - Advance looks at some of the Royal connections to the show and how British innovation is helping some of the athletes competing in the games.
