Farnborough Airshow direct action day on SUNDAY 25th

DISARM DSEi | 23.07.2004 11:21

Farnborough Airshow Direct Action Day, Sunday 25th July – 12 onwards, follow signs from Farnborough station to public entrance or get shuttle bus organised by the airshow to the public entrance.

Farnborough International 2004 (July 19-25) in Hampshire is the most important arms fair this year. Not only is it the battleground for the sale of military aircraft and associated weapons systems but for the public acceptance of them too. At the last Farnborough in 2002 military and civilian contracts totalling over $9 billion were announced with exhibitors including murdering bastards such as BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Rolls-Royce and Boeing queuing up to sell their latest weapons systems.

However there is also another side to Farnborough, that of fun days out for all the family with the weekend public days. We are therefore calling a day of direct action on one of these family days to show that Farnborough is primarily an arms fair and also to state that watching the latest fighter jets is not family entertainment.

Farnborough Airshow Direct Action Day, Sunday 25th July – 12 onwards, follow signs from Farnborough station to public entrance or get shuttle bus organised by the airshow to the public entrance.

Legal support will be available on the day, including police station pick-ups. Contact DISARM DSEi for more details.

There is the option of buying tickets for the public event for £20 – see www.farnborough.com for details.
