UK - Farnborough - Child and smart bomb at air show

A young child is surrounded by adults as they visit the trade stand of an unnamed manufacturer of a smart bomb that occupies a prominent space at their stand at the Farnborough air show - an expo for the aviation and defence industries. A primitive plastic chain protects the million Pound armament from visitors touching although the bomb will be a non-operational model. A TV screen demonstrates the deadly nature of the guided munition that are typically mounted under the wings of fighter jets - in the days before pilotless drone aircraft.
