Farnborough has seen many changes over the years with the rapid growth of the town and the pioneering aviation activity at the RAE, to the decline in commerce in North Camp and eventually also in the current town centre - although redevelopment of Kingsmead and Queensmead promises to rejuvenate the centre. The international airshow brings thousands of people to the town, and the public events at King George V playing fields generate plenty of local interest. What was wartime Farnborough like and how did impact on the lives of people in the area? And how has the impact of the army influenced people's lives?
