Farnborough Airport or TAG London Farnborough Airport (previously called RAE Farnborough, ICAO Code EGUF) is an operational business/executive general aviation airport in Farnborough, Rushmoor, Hampshire, England. The airport covers about 8% of Rushmoor's land area.〔"(Rushmoor Local Plan Review (1996-2011) )." Rushmoor. Adopted August 2000. 125 (1/39). Retrieved on 30 September 2010.〕 Farnborough Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P864) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (TAG Farnborough Airport Limited).〔(Civil Aviation Authority Aerodrome Ordinary Licences )〕 The first powered flight in Britain was at Farnborough on 5 October 1908, when Samuel Cody took off in his British Army Aeroplane No 1. The airfield is the home of the Farnborough Airshow which is held in even numbered years. It is also home to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch, part of the Department for Transport. == History == Farnborough Airport has a long history, beginning at the start of the 20th century with the creation of His Majesty's Balloon Factory and the first powered flight in Britain in 1908.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Farnborough — Towns and Villages in Hampshire )〕 This subsequently became the Royal Aircraft Establishment, a connection which continues in the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust museum. Farnborough airfield and RAE was bombed by Germany on the 13th August 1940 by a flight of Junkers 88 A-1’s from the KG 54 squadron during World War 2. The civil enclave was operated by Farnborough Business Aviation until 2003, when the Ministry of Defence stopped operations at Farnborough. All experimental aircraft were moved to MoD Boscombe Down; the airport was taken over by TAG Aviation. Commercial defence research by research firm QinetiQ continues in the adjoining Cody Technology Park. Farnborough Airfield appeared in the 2008 James Bond film ''Quantum of Solace'', as the Austrian airport from which Bond flies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Farnborough Airport — Private Jet Charter )〕 The airfield was also a location for the 2010 film ''Inception''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Farnborough Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
