SBAC (Society of British Aerospace Companies) was founded in 1916 and is a name synonymous with the British aerospace industry and the Farnborough Air Show. It is no longer. In fact Farnborough is now virtually an independent stand alone subsidiary. Established formally on 1 October 2009 ADS (Advancing UK Aerospace, Defence and Security Industries) combines the SBAC, the Defence Manufacturers Association (DMA) and the Association of Police and Public Security Suppliers (APPSS). The call is for ADS to collectively represent the United Kingdom on the world stage. www.adsgroup.org.uk
