this week to protest against the proposed expansion of the airport which will almost double the number of private jet flights to 70,000 a year in a move which blatantly ignores the climate crisis Scores of activists are blockading the main entrance to the airport with banners proclaiming “FLYING TO EXTINCTION” “PRIVATE FLIGHTS = PUBLIC DEATHS” “STOP PRIVATE FLIGHTS” “PRIVATE FLIGHTS COST THE EARTH” “QUAKERS FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE” and “CLIMATE EMERGENCY” Protestors are releasing colourful smoke flares chanting slogans and engaging with members of the public whilst accompanied by the XR Rebel Rhythms band of drummers The demonstration includes campaigners from Extinction Rebellion (XR) Waverley and Borders who have joined forces with Farnborough Noise campaign group The protest follows a consultation period on Farnborough Airport’s expansion plans which ended on 18 October 2024 The plans have drawn fierce opposition from local residents and environmental campaigners Rushmoor Borough Council has yet to make a decision on the proposed increase in flights The proposals include doubling the airport’s annual weekend flight limit from 8,900 to 18,900 flights and upping its annual flight limit by 71% from 50,000 to 70,000 flights The 33,120 private flights to and from Farnborough Airport last year carried an average of just 2.5 passengers per flight with each passenger responsible for the emission of nine times as much carbon as an economy flight to the US and 20 times that to Spain Currently 40% of flights to and from the airport are empty For the limited benefit it provides to a small number of people private aviation has a disproportionately large impact on climate change due to its high carbon emissions flying in a private jet is the most inefficient and most carbon-intensive mode of transport It epitomises the worst of climate injustice where a few people emit large amounts of carbon for the sake of a journey that can be taken by a scheduled flight or Private jets are 10 times more carbon intensive than a normal airliner and 50 times worse than trains with a four-hour private flight emitting as much as the average person does in a year according to research by environmental campaign group Transport & Environment At a time when we must drastically reduce our carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels Macquarie is blatantly ignoring the science and is complicit in the unfolding climate crisis Environment Portfolio Holder for Waverley Borough Council said: “Aviation has no realistic prospect of becoming sustainable in the near future so any form of airport expansion is unacceptable Expansion at Farnborough is particularly iniquitous because of the impact on the locality nearby and the massive carbon footprint of the privileged few who choose to travel by private jet.” said: “It’s unacceptable that a tiny number of very wealthy people award themselves the right to fly in private jets emitting huge amounts of carbon and destroying the peace and well-being of people who live under flight paths The lie put out in support of expansion plans is that more flying is good for business and economic growth The reality is that Farnborough airport’s busiest day of the week is Sunday – very rich individuals are putting their desire for luxurious recreation and prestige above the real needs of ordinary people.” added: “I am going to Farnborough airport to join a protest against the plans for expansion which are going to be considered by Rushmoor Council later this year.“More flights use more fuel and produce more emissions and private jets do so at a rate 30-40 times that of a commercial flight per passenger mile Burning fossil fuel is contributing massively to the steady global rise in temperatures and climate breakdown The proposal to expand Farnborough is also deeply concerning to me in its inequality as the super-rich 1% burned through their “share” of the annual carbon budget within the first 10 days of this year commented: “I was on a campervan holiday in Valencia on the night of the storm My ‘holiday snaps’ didn’t need to go into a camera as they are etched into my memory forever Excessive warming of the Med was the cause and it is due to high carbon emissions We need to stop ALL AIRPORT EXPANSION and start listening to the experts holiday and airport companies want us to ignore worsening climate change and to continue to make things worse I would implore you to join us to campaign against private flights at Farnborough Airport join Extinction Rebellion or any other climate

To preserve life on Earth our rebellion must be bigger and bolder – and we urgently need your support to make it happen Adigun and Klass all on target in dominant win after a goalless first half in what was a scrappy after Jayden Davis opened the scoring Borough didn’t look back Jason Adigun and Michael Klass all also on target in a 4-0 win The three points moves the Sports within two of top spot with six games to go – and Adam Murray’s side extended their unbeaten run to seven in the National League South after being buoyed on by a crowd of 1,568 Murray named the same starting line-up which won at Aveley last weekend Moussa Diarra and Klass all returned to the bench after spells on the sideline Borough started on the front foot – with Adigun’s early driven corner picking out the run of Davis but unmarked he couldn’t connect ten yards out but his strike from 25 yards out fizzed narrowly over after good work from Kai Innocent the Sports went even closer when Dominic Odusanya played a great ball over the top to set Innocent away down the left but his drive was turned around the near post by Jack Turner Farnborough then went close themselves as they threatened for the first time – but neither Joe Haigh nor Ollie Robinson could get their efforts on target the Sports were getting frustrated as the visitors looked to manage the clock with slow restarts of play they nearly got the breakthrough after the half hour mark – but Turner was off his line well to save at the feet of George Alexander with the forward looking to run on to Yahaya Bamba’s low ball through Adigun then stung the palms of Turner’s gloves with an effort from outside the area before Alexander pulled a shot wide from 18 yards out as the first half came to its conclusion Borough started the second half on the front foot – and were knocking firmly on the door when Adigun’s corner eventually dropped to the feet of Odusanya at the far post but the midfielder saw his low drive well saved by the outstretched leg of Turner the Sports got the breakthrough on 54 minutes Alexander spun away from Robinson and broke through on goal before showing unselfishness to cut the ball across to Davis who fired his first-time effort beyond Turner Having been patient to get the breakthrough Borough doubled their advantage ten minutes later Courtney Clarke cut inside from the right and on his left foot curled a low strike beyond Turner and into the bottom corner from outside the penalty area It was only Clarke’s second goal for the Sports – but one worth waiting for The Sports at this point were a free-flowing attacking machine and wasted no time in extending their lead Adigun and Alexander’s link up play was evident once again with Adigun playing a give-and-go with the Borough forward to break through on goal he was tripped by the visiting keeper – but the ball still rolled into the net to make it 3-0 Barry and Klass were introduced with 15 minutes to go and the latter completed the scoring on 83 minutes Davis did well on the left hand side and his low cross in eventually made its way to Klass at the far post and with his back to goal he back-heeled the ball in from inside six yards and with results elsewhere the Sports close the gap on top of the table Worthing with six games to go Reach TV Stadium Priory Lane Eastbourne East Sussex BN23 7QH Full-time: Farnborough 3-4 Chelmsford City Kane Crichlow’s electric individual performance helped Chelmsford City earn a 4-3 away win against Farnborough in the National League South Crichlow’s first half brace contributed to sending City down the tunnel at half-time with a 3-2 lead while the Bermudian’s 62nd minute goal put the Clarets 4-2 up and rounded off his hat trick Spencer Day’s Farnborough side had hopes of mounting a late comeback when Jonny Stuttle netted a penalty to narrow the Chelmsford City lead but Robbie Simpson’s side held firm to earn their first away win of 2025 Simpson handed Ipswich Town loanee Nico Valentine his first start in a Chelmsford City shirt and the winger’s inclusion in the side marked one of two changes to the team that started last time out at Bath City Jazzi Barnum-Bobb was included from the beginning after being an unused substitute at Twerton Park Proceedings at the Saunders Community Transport Stadium started frantically as both sides scored inside the opening 15 minutes Farnborough took the lead in the 7th minute Reggie Young cut inside from the right and rolled the ball into Joe Haigh who fired a shot that Ted Collins got a hand to but couldn’t keep out with the ball trickling over the line to put the hosts in front Chelmsford City responded quickly and found an equaliser just six minutes later A clever flick from Jake Hyde found Valentine in space down the right and his accurate cross found Crichlow in space at the back post Crichlow remained composed and slotted the ball past Farnborough keeper Jack Turner to restore parity City were in control for the majority of the first half and added two more goals to their tally before the break a free kick from Collins was flicked on by Hyde into the path of Crichlow who made no mistake and scored a clinical volley to make it 2-1 The Clarets then struck again in the 45th minute Another cross from Valentine caused confusion in the Farnborough box with both Jazzi Barnum-Bobb and Hyde challenging for it before the ball eventually found its way into the back of the net following a poor clearance attempt by the Farnborough defence and goalkeeper Turner There was still time for more drama to unfold before half-time when Farnborough scored their second goal of the game an underhit backpass from Barnum-Bobb was intercepted by Stuttle who rounded Collins and rolled the ball into the empty net to make it 3-2 giving Farnborough something to play for ahead of the second period The second half saw Chelmsford City continue to threaten a well-worked move saw Charlie Ruff square the ball to Archie Tamplin on the edge of the box but his powerful shot was tipped over the crossbar by Turner After a crucial interception in midfield by Tamplin City broke forward quickly and Hyde played a perfectly timed ball behind the Farnborough backline who finished confidently from inside the penalty area to complete his hat-trick and make it 4-2 Farnborough refused to give in and earned another chance to get back into the game in the 78th minute City defender Harry Barbrook was adjudged to have brought down Stuttle inside the box Stuttle stepped up to take the spot-kick and blasted it into the roof of the net sending Collins the wrong way to make it 4-3 Chelmsford City held firm in nervy six minutes of added time Crichlow played a ball through to substitute Finley Wilkinson but the Barnet loanee’s chipped shot went over the crossbar After securing their first win of the month the Clarets will make a swift return to action in just over 48 hours’ time when they host Hemel Hempstead Town at the

strong finish to the 2024/25 campaign when they travel to Hampshire to face Farnborough on Good Friday The late late Jordan Tillson goal against Dorking Wanderers last Saturday ensured the Romans were mathematically assured of a National League South place next season and a victory over Farnborough could see them climb into the top half of the table for the first time this season Spencer Day’s side come into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat against Chesham United but they will no doubt be equally keen to finish the season positively and secure a top 10 placing The New Years Day meeting at Twerton Park was settled by a stunning Scott Wilson strike giving manager Darren Way victory in his first home game in charge The Supporters Club are running a coach and you can book a seat here If you can’t make the trip you can listen to Bath City Radio‘s excellent full coverage of the game starting at 2.45pm Kick off a big Easter Weekend of Romans action Worthing were frustrated as they fell to a second defeat in three matches at home to Farnborough the sort of night that just exudes football Farnborough didn’t so much swamp Worthing as frustrate at every conceivable opportunity A masterclass in how to beat a Chris Agutter side Danny Cashman was a rare absentee from the line-up here after showing signs of discomfort on Saturday a rare night where things just didn’t come off It was almost a carbon copy of the reverse fixture Farnborough are a young and hungry side who fight for every ball On their travels they are one of the division’s worst – two wins both in the form of 2-1s But with recent draws at Truro and then Dorking this is clearly a side who are channeling a similar energy that led them to early season success The recent arrival of Jonny Stuttle has helped galvanise a previously faltering forward line He’d slam home the second after Worthing failed to clear after Ollie Robinson had caressed them ahead with an easy action nine minutes earlier Farnborough were as ferocious as Worthing were woozy Robinson couldn’t believe how much time he had at the back post to poke the ball over the line will have been mightily chuffed to see the ball drop perfectly onto his sweet right foot after Worthing’s attempts of getting rid of the football ended in a comedy sketch Sandwiched in between all of this was a Worthing goal Over the course of the opening half they probably deserved to ruin Jack Turner’s hopes of a second clean sheet on the road this season Mo Faal was a standout performer for the Reds in a torrid opening period and it was his finish on 13 minutes that helped ease the pain Worthing had a few good moments in the half but this was the most delicately crafted and it spawned Faal’s 18th on the campaign Ruben Carvalho was the genesis of this leveller breezing beyond Luciano D’Auria-Henry before placing a pinpoint pass into the feet of Faal ghosting into space and placing his shot the wrong-side of Turner It could have been 3-1 moments after Farnborough restored their lead Joe Cook might not be the speediest of centre-halves but his positioning was exceptional was one reason why this one wasn’t over at the half-time whistle Worthing finished the half the strongest — Tommy Willard denied by a few last-ditch blocks and Faal whistling one past the post — yet this was a half governed and commandeered by those in yellow There were groans when Morgan Conn blew his whistle for the break it hadn’t been the finest Worthing performance in recent times Not only has every game been played at full-throttle But things are rarely straightforward for this side It took some time for Worthing to get going in the second half There were a few scares: Covolan dribbling through the Farnborough frontline was perhaps the pick of the bunch But soon enough they began to hit their stride Nash came within a strand of hair of connecting to a superb Willard cross and then within a lick of white paint as he crashed an effort against the outside of the post They’re the ones you just want another bite at Farnborough continued to frustrate and squeeze every Worthing player on the pitch hoping to provide the answer on a night that just slipped further away from their grasp inflicting further fear into Turner’s mind but the ‘keeper dealt with the shots from distance with relative comfort Farnborough did just about everything to achieve an impressive league double over Worthing – the first team to do this all season In the end the small pocket of travelling supporters are overwhelmed with joy This is their best result in an otherwise underwhelming season casually checking the table with one hand over the eyes Teams around collect points as the cycle presses on No one really knows what’s going to happen come the end of April Sussex Transport Community Stadium Woodside Road Worthing West Sussex BN14 7HQ Gilbert Investments Limited & Barry Hunter the growing potential of the global space sector was clear to see at the Farnborough International Space Show the 2025 Farnborough International Space Show took place on 19-20 March against the backdrop of geo-political uncertainties playing into the wider concerns about the role space will play in this rapidly changing environment The first keynote was delivered by ADS Group CEO Kevin Craven who underlined the importance of the sector to the UK’s economy CEO of ADS Kevin Craven addresses delegates on the opening day the numbers Craven provided speak for themselves with the space sector projected to be worth £1trillion by 2035 while generating 50,000 well-paid jobs across the UK supply chain Addressing attendees on the opening day of the show UK Industry Minister Sarah Jones announced that German company OHB has opened a new subsidiary in the UK located at the Bristol and Bath Science Park creating up to 50 jobs developing satellites and spacecraft technologies there were several examples of UK companies aiming to take advantage of the many commercial opportunities space has to offer a Cardiff-based start-up which has recently acquired a licence from the CAA for manufacturing key materials in space This comes ahead of the first example of its ForgeStar 1 satellite being launched later this year Displayed on its stand was a rotating hologram of the company’s heat shield which will be used when payloads alloys and semi-conductors which can only be manufactured in space due to the microgravity environment Space Solar was exhibiting a satellite designed to beam power from the sun down to earth around the clock Present at the show was a model of Rolls-Royce’s micro nuclear reactor which the company is proposing to deploy to provide power for any long-term settlements that are established on the Lunar surface Another exhibitor in the business of creating power in space which had a model of its innovative power generation satellite on display When sunlight passes into this corkscrew like device it is reflected onto a solar panel further down its structure which in turn is then converted into microwaves These are then beamed down to Earth in the form of radio waves and make contact with ground stations (positioned either on land or on floating arrays at sea) which then convert them into electricity the company claims this will enable allow solar energy to be harnessed around the clock at an affordable price due to the satellites being assembled by autonomous robots in orbit Although technologies such as this – and the wider use of space to improve life on earth – have massive potential A panel titled ‘Advancing PNT and Secure Communications – Overcoming Challenges and Meeting Future Needs’ One way of ensuring resilience for satellite GPS systems was presented by Martin Rumens Head of Products and Solutions Secure Communications at Babcock International Group who discussed the long range aid to navigation (LORAN) a “terrestrial radio based system that was developed back in the late 1940s and early 1950s as a aid to navigation for ships and aircraft.” The current “enhanced LORAN” so called due to through using improved clock quality and a data channel to carry auxiliary information is not only more accurate but can penetrate environments such as dense jungles and crowded cities that GPS cannot Described by Rumens as “a terrestrial GPS backup ready to go in a box” with the panel going on to discuss the growing risk of space debris and particularly a Kessler Event where two satellites collide producing more debris which itself enhances the risk further B2Space displayed its 'NetZeRocket' which is powered by sustainable fuels Demand for satellites and their services continues to rise needing more launches although the wait for the first vertical one from UK soil goes on the UK Space Agency would not confirm which of the UK’s various space firms would have this honour later in the year there was no shortage of exhibitors offering their launch solutions South Wales-based B2Space – a major line of business for whom is High-Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) that have the potential to bridge the gap between UAVs in the Earth’s atmosphere and satellites in orbit The company carries its HAPS below a balloon which itself is launched from either land or sea and it is also now developing a concept to offer customers the opportunity to launch satellites from below the balloon Another project exhibited by the company was a hybrid rocket that is driven using biofuels sourced from Wales under the Welsh Government funded ‘NetZeRocket’ programme later this year at a testing facility in Snowdonia As different regions have attempted to cash in on the space boom several geographic localities hosted stands at the show with one of the most prominent being Spaceport Cornwall Visible on its stand was a model of Space Engine Systems’ Hello 1 a proposed spaceplane which will initially be used for transporting payloads into LEO before moving onto space tourists at a later date a craft with the capability to transfer payloads beyond LEO to the Lunar surface The nature of spaceports was the subject of another panel at the event with discussions on these key pieces of infrastructure and this Starts with Launch Pad Systems’ panel underlined how many people misunderstand what a spaceport is and the potential they have for the locations they inhabit Co-Founder and Technical Director of spaceport consultancy Fire Arrow Managing Director of the Aviation Logistics Network The two day show concluded having had 5,252 visitors seeing 220 speakers and 130 exhibitors Despite all the economic and technical factors to consider delegates were reminded of one fundamental fact – the human dimension of space exploration This was because the event took place just hours after ‘Butch’ Wilmore and ‘Suni’ Williams returned from their marathon stay on the International Space Station This long running event underlined the continued risk and remaining mystique around space exploration showing its enduring ability to capture the imagination Deputy CEO and Chief Delivery Officer for UK Space Agency put it “The human aspect of spaceflight still has the ability to inspire.” The Farnborough International Space Show takes place on 19-20 March Event CEO Gareth Rogers gives AEROSPACE a taster of what has proved to be Farnborough International’s fastest ever selling event Director General of the European Space Agency (ESA) provided insights into the latest developments in the space industry and its key challenges at RAeS HQ in London ANGELIKA KOCHAJKIEWICZ and HARRY JOHNSON from the RAeS Solent Branch Young Persons Committee (YPC) report from the 17th European Space Conference and give a young professional's perspective on the exciting space industry in Europe expressed his gratitude for the recognition stating: “Being acknowledged in the Professional Pilot PRASE Survey for 18 years is a tremendous honour for Farnborough Airport Our relentless pursuit of excellence is at the core of everything we do and this consistent recognition reaffirms our unwavering commitment to our customers.” Farnborough Airport scored 9.73 in the Professional Pilot PRASE Survey an annual ranking based on customer feedback regarding aviation ground services This accolade is determined by the discerning insights of senior aviation professionals including executives in charge of flight departments who contribute their evaluations each year to Professional Pilot magazine The news follows Farnborough Airport’s recent announcement that it has retained its number one position in the 2025 Aviation International News (AIN) FBO Survey securing its status as the leading FBO across Europe Africa and Asia Pacific for the 19th consecutive year Simon Geere reaffirmed the Airport’s commitment to maintaining its industry-leading standards commenting: “The entire team at Farnborough Airport is deeply appreciative of this ongoing recognition and the trust placed in us by our customers As we continue to innovate and invest in our facilities we remain dedicated to setting new benchmarks for service This recognition as Europe’s number one FBO reflects the dedication of our staff and we extend our appreciation to all those who participated in the survey.” Farnborough Airport’s ranking in both the 2025 Professional Pilot PRASE Survey and the recent 2025 AIN International FBO Survey reinforces its position as one of the highest-performing FBOs globally and reflects its long-standing commitment to excellence and upholding its reputation as Europe’s premier

Farnborough Airport in Hampshire has completed a £2 million rooftop solar PV project courtesy of solar installer Solivus the system will be capable of generating over 1.2GWh of renewable energy per year and supply up to 25% of the airport’s annual electricity needs The installation will also facilitate the growing fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) at the airport by supplying green energy Around 75% of the annual solar generation will be used on-site with the remaining 25% to be sold back to the energy supplier Solivus started construction on the rooftop solar PV system in January 2024 and has since installed 4,000 lightweight solar modules on hangars one and two the Solvus solar PV modules have lower glare characteristics to ensure they do not impact pilots’ landings hailed the Farnborough Airport rooftop solar PV development outlining that commercial buildings have often been constrained by structural limitations whilst also encouraging other airports to explore rooftop solar PV “We are proud to have worked with Farnborough Airport to ensure the future supply of renewable energy supporting the airport’s progressive net zero emissions journey We encourage other airports to seize the opportunity to benefit from our lightweight solar energy installations and advance their own sustainability initiative,” Parker-Swift said UK airports adhering to their chosen route to net zero emissions have often explored the use of rooftop solar PV to match their electricity demand cost-effectively For instance, in 2023, energy supplier SSE Energy Solutions confirmed it would explore the development of a “major solar power project” at Teesside Airport This will aid in achieving the airport’s net zero by 2030 ambition Up to 3MW of solar generation will be installed in the first phase of this project to meet airport and local demand. Once this has been completed further phases could deliver 50MW of additional capacity “over the coming years” Solar Power Portal has previously reported that solar was providing London Southend Airport with 25% of its annual energy consumption to reduce its carbon footprint In May 2023, Bristol Airport revealed that it had started work on a 2.8-acre solar PV plant which would help generate at least 16% of the airport’s direct energy needs over the year Chelmsford City welcome National League South leaders Farnborough to Essex

over 210,000 sq ft stage space 1,000,000 sq ft unit base facilities and 3,500 parking spaces Farnborough International Studios also sits within a high-end events space providing extensive additional exhibition areas and locations and operated by the same team that organises the iconic Farnborough International Airshow and runs Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre exhibitions and events were of course unable to take place It was then that Farnborough International embraced its filming services and opportunities pivoting to support the industry’s robust and agile response to the pandemic with Covid monitors and regular testing and founding a new arm of its business – Farnborough International Studios Filming took place across the campus within our internal spaces with blockbusters from a five-month shoot for Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw to a full street-build for the Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast standing set With the subsequent increase in demand for filming semi-permanent sound stages were built in 2021 These incredible structures offer a full gantry set up with 37.7 ft height to the reds full three-phase electrical capability and extraction ventilation to support pyros on set.Following the success of filming throughout the site the two dedicated sound stages were purchased by Farnborough International and so we now have a full and vibrant site for productions to take advantage of our 210,000 sq ft of shooting spaces and our extensive production offices that support projects of all sizes it has been great for us to host a range of films and high-end TV series both in the stages and across the wider campus including Mission: Impossible – Fallout; Kraven the Hunter; Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw We also offered Tom Cruise the opportunity to fly into Farnborough Airport the largest business aviation airport onsite and then to shoot Mission Impossible: Fallout with us Hall 5 (Studio 4) we have filmed We Live In Time [a love story starring Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh that came out in early January this year] We can support large-scale features and HETV dramas: within our sound stages we have hosted multi-million-dollar films like Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire to dramas Inside Man [BBC and Netflix] and The Devil’s Hour (Prime Video) Non-scripted projects include Optomen’s Stacey Solomon’s Sort Your Life Out and talking heads for the most recent BBC One Given that a number of our exhibition spaces can double as filming locations we offer options on site that can ‘play’ airport lobbies conference areas and high-class dining areas In addition to our sound stages and internal filming areas we have a huge amount of parking and external spaces so can support multi-sized unit bases to film locally We have supported a variety of bases from Greenland: Migration to SAS Rogue Heroes Our private roads throughout the site can also support stunt filming and driving shoots and we have supported productions with their requirements within this field We have seen an increase in the uptake of studio enquiries due to the new tax incentives – the most recent feature film that shot with us from August – December 2024 wouldn’t have been with us if it were not for the government’s support We have also seen how the new government in the US has impacted enquiries in this country We are currently within a volatile time in the filming industry and are often impacted by the UK and US economic stability but are looking forward to the future as the tax incentives and the government’s commitment to support creative industries is implemented We have been really proud to take advantage of the training and funding opportunities that the government has offered In partnership with Hampshire County Council, we have already offered one skills bootcamp to support enhanced learning for those stepping up to be 3rd assistant director and in March we will welcome a new cohort of individuals on our upcoming runners course The launch of the Farnborough International Studio Skills Academy in partnership with All Spring Media offers the opportunity to learn from those working in the industry with an aim for guaranteed work placements at the end of the course Farnborough International Studios is a boutique site that offers a dedicated team to support productions from soft prep

diverse and adaptable options for period and contemporary properties as well as build spaces and doubles for overseas locations Nearby locations such as Farnborough Airport Ascot Racecourse and McLaren Technology Centre have been used in features such as Marvel’s Avengers The local area is also well served with excellent accommodation from high-end to more budget friendly options We have also seen more of the supporting creative community and businesses setup within the area to support the growing production needs The studios offer close links with our local filming offices and of course Creative England and working with our local authorities we are building opportunities and awareness of filming locations to support productions with their location requests to ensure they are local more convenient to their base and with minimal travel We look forward to welcoming a range of productions in 2025 as well as continuing to develop and invest in the site’s infrastructure and

scored more goals but conceded more than us Recent season’s results suggest that if you win the first game of this fixture Two seasons ago Tonbridge did the double over Farnborough and last year they did the double over the Angels brought one of the more memorable away trips this season as the Angels produced a near perfect performance to win the game with two goals from Sean Shields Farnborough’s position in the table comes courtesy of their home form as only three of their 16 wins have come on their travels They won at Chippenham Town on the opening day Chelmsford City in October and impressively at Worthing in February Spencer Day is one of the longest serving managers in National League South and has been in charge since 2011 He secured Conference South safety in the penultimate game of his first season despite a five-point deduction for financial irregularities Further punishments led to the club being relegated in successive seasons eventually to Southern League Division One Central but were promoted in 2017 and returned to National League South in 2022 the Farnborough manager remarked after successive defeats at Eastbourne Borough and St Albans City: “Massive apology to our fans for the first half We managed to lose the game to one attempt on goal in the whole game which was a gift We haven't got the quality at the moment to score goals  I've got a few who are going through the motions at the moment I don't care that the season's over The situation in the summer is very easy at the moment Of the trip to the Halcyon Wealth Longmead Stadium Day said:  "It's one of the best 4Gs in the league we’ve got players who only like to play on nice pitches.” Jack Turner is one of the most consistent and experienced goalkeepers in the league He signed for Farnborough in 2021 after a brief spell with Cray Wanderers but has played against the Angels several times whilst at Slough Town previously with Slough Town and Dorking Wanderers He re-joined Farnborough from Dorking in October the versatile Richard Chin is a former Charlton Athletic player who had a recent spell with Dartford and the only former Tonbridge player in the Farnborough squad is Matty Macarthur who had a loan spell with the Angels from Gillingham last season is the club’s leading goalscorer with seven goals He has scored all his goals since Christmas following a loan move from AFC Bournemouth Admission prices for Saturday’s game are: Adults £17;

You can change your cookie settings at any time Freedom of Information releases and corporate reports and thank you all for being here this morning and crowding around This is my first speech as Secretary of State for Science And I would like to start by telling you why I have chosen Farnborough to make my first speech The first reason is one that I have got from meeting so many people who are working personal reason – when I was appointed into the Shadow Secretary of State role by Keir Starmer I was keen as possible to get up and meet people who are working in the space sector everyone single person I have met is dedicated to the sector in which you are working that you go way beyond what I have seen in many other sectors but when it’s [inaudible] they don’t come together after a certain period It is a sector who are so incredibly passionate about the sector about their contribution to it but also passionate about the possibilities that space has And I have been infected by their enthusiasm and drive The second reason is something that is personal and quite interesting for me today because so many people have already said to me ‘Is this your first Farnborough?’ This is my fourth Farnborough and the other 3 have always been out there but the other days of the week where the public are invited and I’ve sat with my dad and my partner at the time My partner worked for a commercial airliner and my dad was a Royal Navy aircraft mechanic in the 1960s where he worked in [inaudible] fighter jets of the day So my entire upbringing has been with my dad telling stories on the deck; battling in the most extreme circumstances and trying to repair some of the aircraft of the day in extreme circumstances Coming here with my dad and my partner for 3 Farnborough’s sitting out there with one yabbering in my ear with every single detail of civil aviation and the other one being able to tell me the things in the sky by the sound of the engine gives you an insight into the kind of family life and background I had running up to this moment in time and that spirit of innovation I told you about that I detected from people who are driving from the centre and that was represented by people around me and in my personal life I think we bring into the mission-led approach that are going to drive the national renewal over a decade can happen if we stick to the tried and tested To find the bold solutions to the problems that have dogged our country for decades and the solutions we will face in the decades to come I am sure that the irony of a minister standing here and talking to you about national missions for those of you working in the space sector But I do stand here today because there is no better example than the space sector that explains what we are trying to do as a government the UK’s space sector is growing 4 times faster than the overall UK economy Its workforce is twice as productive as the British average To create opportunities for companies to start to create the good jobs that bring prosperity to communities up and down our country these sectors need to learn from space and space needs to lead the way If we want to deliver better public services and better lives for the people up and down our country Understanding the effects of our changing climate Providing rural communities with internet access Keeping our armed forces safe and aircraft in constant contact they are obligations and none of them can be fulfilled without space space-based services like satellite communications and remote sensing are the cornerstones of our national security the systems that keep Britain safe will grind to a halt Secure financial transactions that rely on timestamps that are accurate to the millisecond Emergency services that depend on precise GPS data to find the people who need their help as orbits become more congested – and contested – we must work with our NATO allies to protect our people delivery and opportunity – they provide the beginnings of the answer And yet none of them can quite capture what is so unique about space No metric of growth or productivity can distil what is so breath-taking about the images taken by the James Webb telescope Or the pioneering spirit that will propel the Rosalind Franklin rover to Mars And it would be just as hard to measure the sense of pride I feel knowing that it was the contributions of British scientists that made these missions possible Because the value of human knowledge is never solely defined by its ability to solve our current crises The astronauts on board Apollo 7 could never have predicted the ways that companies like Space Forge in Cardiff could exploit the cold and uncontaminated properties of microgravity to find new cures to Alzheimer’s and cancer to 3D print organs for transplant patients or manufacture the semiconductors that will power the digital revolution that is unfolding today The century to come will bring new problems we simply cannot predict the ways that each discovery in space might matter We can only prepare by supporting the scientists and businesses with the boldness and brilliance to make them better I’ll be meeting one of those people – I’ve already met Rosemary Coogan who became our third ever astronaut earlier this year I will be guided by these 4 principles – discovery and delivery But I cannot chart a course for success in space alone No mission can succeed without a strong team Working closely with our international partners I want to forge a strategic partnership with businesses A meaningful relationship anchored not in the short-term solutions and shorter funding cycles Because businesses don’t want a new strategy every 6 months They need a clear signal from a government that isn’t afraid to make hard choices about where to focus our efforts Because we know that we cannot do everything But that makes it all the more important to invest in those technologies where we really can lead the world I know that this strategic partnership will take time to build So, here in Farnborough, I am announcing £33 million in funding for innovative businesses from the UK Space Agency’s National Space Innovation Programme (NSIP) From the smallest start-ups to global giants the recipients of the fund aren’t just creating cutting edge technologies they want to use that technology to build a better future for Britain SuperSharp are designing a heat-detecting telescope to gather the data that we will need to tackle the climate crisis ETL Systems are building ground equipment that links satellites to 5G and 6G mobile networks Orbit Fab and Lunasa are working on refuelling and docking technologies that will extend the lifespan of satellites and preserve our space environment for future generations I’ll be travelling up to Glasgow to meet one of the winners myself Spire Global are developing technology to supply unique weather forecasting data to global weather prediction centres And their success in Scotland embodies the phenomenal potential of our science and tech economy Once the shipbuilding capital of the world Glasgow now makes more satellites than anywhere in Europe the phrase ‘Clyde Built’ – used in previous generations to describe the incredible ships built on the banks of the Clyde – will be used for small satellites Travel fifty miles East through the Central Belt and you will find a unique combination of world-class universities and innovation centres that are cementing Edinburgh’s reputation as a ‘space data capital.’ that space port will host the first ever vertical satellite launch in Europe putting Britain on the map in an increasingly competitive global market a better future for Britain is coming into view you can see that future very clearly indeed People with decades of experience in aerospace and oil and gas are using their expertise to build the industries of tomorrow and create prosperity for their communities Talented researchers in world-leading universities are developing technologies to tackle some of our toughest problems Innovative start-ups and spinouts are taking those solutions out of the lab and into our lives Because we have an extraordinary opportunity here we can grow our economy and create good jobs for the future for our people We can deliver the public services they deserve And we can protect our country in an increasingly volatile world Don’t include personal or financial information like your National Insurance number or credit card details Everything you need to know ahead of

guidelines Hear from boss Adam Murray after today's 4-0 victory at The ReachTV Stadium As Chris Agutter's side prepare to face Farnborough in the National League South Season 2021/22 started well for the Yellows in the Southern League Premier South Spencer Day assembled an exciting squad with many promising signings most notably Sam Deering and Ricky Holmes making the weekly journey from Essex to spearhead the Boro challenge followed up with a nine-game unbeaten run in January emphasising the desire of the squad to gain promotion A revitalised Taunton Town came on a fantastic run which would see them hurdle both of the long-term leaders and the race went down to the last game of the season with any one of the three able to claim the title Hayes & Yeading United second and Farnborough in a slightly disappointing third Farnborough hit Metropolitan Police with a late comeback to secure their place in the Play-Off Final against season-long rivals Farnborough’s first season back in the National League South really turned out to be one for the fans to remember coinciding with a super FA Cup campaign which set up an exciting away tie with National League Wrexham Despite a valiant effort against the TV stars of Non-League football Boro finally succumbed to the strength of their squad until settling for a comfortable and commendable 10th-place finish just narrowly missing out on the play-off places in 8th Since the reverse fixture back in November Spencer Day joined Farnborough in November 2011 and oversaw a turnaround in fortunes securing the Club’s status in the Conference South in the following three seasons successfully gained promotion to The Southern League Premier Division in 2016/17 through the Play-Offs after finishing the season a comfortable second After successfully navigating the COVID-19 pandemic Day guided the team to promotion back to Step Two last season with victory in The Southern League Premier South Play-Off Final having spent virtually all season at the top of the division Known for his relentless work behind the scenes furnishing the players with all they need to know about each opponent has brought a period of stability and success to Farnborough Defender Ollie Robinson is the club captain at Farnborough The former Metropolitan Police Captain joined Farnborough for the start of the 2022/23 season ahead of the Club’s return to The Vanarama National League South Playing his Youth football at Carshalton Athletic and Kingstonian Ollie progressed into Non-League football with Walton Casuals and Molesey Town before spending six seasons at Metropolitan Police where he went close to spoiling the Farnborough dream in the dramatic Southern League Premier South Play-Offs in 2022 Aaron Kuhl is a midfielder with plenty of experience at the level having made over 100 appearances in the division for Slough Town Combative Kuhl made the switch to Dorking Wanderers in January 2023 having spent the previous three years at the heart of the Slough Town midfield where he racked up 67 appearances and 7 goals Having risen up through Reading’s Academy from the age of 15 with a permanent stint at Basingstoke Town in 2019 sandwiched in between Kuhl has England caps at Under 19 and 20 level to his name taking to the International stage in victories over Azerbaijan and Czech Republic He returned to Farnborough from Dorking Wanderers in October 2024 after enjoying a successful loan spell during the 2023/24 season Mention Farnborough and most people will probably think of the area’s long aviation heritage dating back to the pioneers of the Balloon Factory and Samuel Cody’s historic first flight in 1908 through to the world-famous air show that cemented the name of the airfield into the history books.However during its time as home to the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) Farnborough was also one of Britain’s hotbeds of space technology the RAE developed both the Black Knight and Black Arrow rockets both built by Saunders-Roe and tested in Australia with the latter used to launch the Prospero satellite in 1971 British rocket to carry a satellite into space carrying the Prospero satellite into orbit (Crown Copyright)It is therefore perhaps fitting that the UK space sector – along with an impressively strong international cadre of space companies and agencies – will be focussing its collective attention on Farnborough on 19-20 March for the 2025 Farnborough International Space Show.“Space has never been more important to our day-to-day life” explained Farnborough International CEO Gareth Rogers If you are using maps on your phone or broadband WiFi on an airliner There is no getting away from the fact that space is vitally important in today’s modern world.”Farnborough International first held a dedicated space show in 2021 but this year the event is the biggest yet with 1,200 organisations from 50 countries confirmed to attend The European Space Agency will be among the exhibitors at the event (ESA)“One question we asked when we were pulling this event together was what is it that the space market looking to achieve?” explained Rogers we are focusing on creating a show for the entire ecosystem – both upstream and downstream – and one that connects government academia and businesses both small and large There is obviously a large emphasis on the defence sector as well right now with the space domain becoming vitally important in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical situation So what we have created is an event where all the players in this sector can meet and do business – from government decision makers from around the globe to the SMEs and start-ups that are creating the technologies needed to deliver the solutions.” Farnborough Air Show's existing coverage of the space sector has been leveraged to create this dedicated event the biennial Farnborough International Air Show has included a dedicated Space Zone for a number of year and Rogers is keen to explain that this will continue “The Space Zone is very important at Air Show” he said With the UK space sector now worth £18.9bn and the international market valued at around £1.8 trillion space is no longer just a small part of the aerospace world as it was maybe ten or 15 years ago.”Running alongside the event at Farnborough the 40th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment (ISRSE-40) will include more than 200 speakers from the likes of Rolls-Royce the UK Space Agency and the Egyptian Space Agency Along with 80 exhibitors across the show floor ISRSE-40 conference sessions will “explore the synergies between emerging technologies and global partnerships to foster a deeper understanding of Earth-system dynamics and their applications” with keynote speakers including the Rt Hon Lord Willetts FRS (Chair of the UK Space Agency) and Dr Sherif Sedky Topics of the four-day conference will include: climate change and environmental monitoring sustainable land and marine resource management resilient urban and infrastructure systems innovative earth observation (EO) technologies interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration and EO for adaption and mitigation.“I think one of the most important aspects of the Space Show itself is that the UK government will be represented and doing business” continued Rogers “Having a dedicated space where the sector can meet and do business matters more than anything As an aerospace industry it is time for the space element to shine on its own the US has its Space Force and the sector can no longer sit on the periphery of our wider industry.” The UK government recently signed a £127m deal with Airbus to provide a new space-based imagery satellite system for military operations The two Synthetic Aperture Radar satellites will be able to capture day and night-time images of the Earth’s surface and are expected to launch in 2027 (Airbus)Demand for a dedicated event at Farnborough has led to the Space Show being Farnborough International’s “fastest ever launch” in terms of both exhibitors and attendees “That tells you that the appetite is there,” added Rogers “This is undoubtedly because of the pedigree that Farnborough International brings to the event as well as the existing supply chain and contacts that we have built through the Air Show.” “As with the other events that we run such as Sustainable Skies and the Bahrain Air Show we have identified a need and used our tremendous convening power to address that requirement that event brings both UK and global attention to a topic that needs highlighting and – as with the Space Show – it is about supplementing what we offer at Air Show not creating an alternative.” Whereas some of the exhibitors and speakers at the Space Show (and Sustainable Skies) might be lost in the vastness of the traditional air show they are finally being given the opportunity to have their voices heard by a dedicated audience the eyes of the global space industry will be focussed on Farnborough the Farnborough Space Show brings together world leaders in the sector cementing the UK’s role in a fast growing and important global space economy.“Space is a serious business” concluded Rogers “It is becoming integrated into our everyday lives in ever increasing ways and this show is about convening the leaders thinkers and decisions makers in an arena where they can do business.” Could satellite mega-constellations trigger climate change 2.0 Farnborough International Space Show is an annual exhibition and conference connecting the space ecosystem across industry the event will pioneer the commercial space age a..
