Hi Dan, thanks for posting the 1959 Farnborough Display.  It brought back a flood of memories for me as I was an airman in the USAF and my English wife and I made a special trip there from Felixstowe.  I started digging through my souvenir collection and found the original Public Programme which sold for a whopping 1'6.  Some very special things come to mind.  I remember the fantastic roar and throb of 111 Squadron's Hawker Hunters, 11 of them taking off in a diamond formation at the same time with that incredible bomb burst at the end.  That was also my introduction to  the Vulcan Mk 2 and the Victor B. Mk 2.  It was an incredible and long day for us.  I must give credit to the Mrs in that she walked both to and from the train station and spent the entire day viewing while wearing her high heels and never once complained.  Thanks again for posting.  I shall download that video to keep for my family archives.
