The firm will be among more than 1,500 exhibitors welcoming an expected 80,000 visitors to the five-day showcase for the aerospace, aviation and space industries on 18th-22nd July.

It will be attending with fellow members of the Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC) on a prominently placed stand at the show, which is usually held every two years.

Tony Barnett, managing director of 45-strong Barnbrook Systems Ltd, said: “Farnborough International Air Show is always a highlight of our calendar.

“We have attended a dozen shows going back more than 20 years and are very much looking forward to this year’s event.”

Tony, who is a longstanding FAC board member, added: “Although aviation was among the sectors adversely affected by the Covid pandemic, the return of the show is a vote of confidence in the industry and I am sure it will be a great success.”

Barnbrook Systems Ltd marked its 40th anniversary at the show in 2018 and signed a six-figure contract with aerospace giant Leonardo at the 2016 event. Mr Barnett also met then Prime Minister David Cameron in 2014.
