In 1890 a balloon section was introduced into the Army as a unit of the Royal Engineers, and not long afterwards, the Balloon Factory was established at South Farnborough, where in 1912 it was transformed into the Royal Aircraft Factory. Four balloon sections took part in the South African War and were used during the Siege of Ladysmith, at Magersfontein and Paardeburg.
'Now they'll tell each other for the next ten minutes that she's an hour earlier than we expected. Although young Farnborough had looked upon the blooming addition to the party with an undisguised interest, he readily fell in with Lord John's diplomatic move to get him out of the way. He even helped towards his own effacement, looking out through the window with
A grant for a dirigible balloon was obtained in 1903, though it was not until 1907, the year in which Cody began the construction of his aeroplane at Farnborough, and Charles Rolls his experiments, that the airship "Nulli Secundus" made her first flight. She was about 120 feet long and 30 feet in diameter, and was driven by a 40 horse-power engine at a speed of 30 miles an hour.
The first result of all this was that these two crept into the town of Farnborough at three o'clock one morning; that Isaac took out a key and unlocked the house that stood next to Meadows' on the left hand; that Isaac took secret possession of the first floor, and Nathan open but not ostentatious possession of the ground-floor, with a tale skillfully concocted to excite no suspicion whatever that Isaac was in any way connected with his presence in the town.

'We shall be only six for the first brew, prompted the girl at her side. 'Paul Filey is mooning somewhere about the garden. 'Oh! 'Why do you say it like that? Hermione's eyes rested a moment on the golfer who was bringing up the rear. He was younger than his rather set figure had at a distance proclaimed him. 'I was only thinking Dick Farnborough can't abide Paul, said the girl.
The Tithe Commutation Act was passed in June; it provided for the exchange of tithes into a rent-charge upon land payable in money, but according to a sliding scale which varied with the average price of corn during the seven preceding years. In the opinion of Lord Farnborough, to no measure since the Reformation has the Church owed so much peace and security.
'Oh, helping you, is she? said Farnborough with absent eyes; and then suddenly 'all there, 'Lady John, I've come to ask you to help me. 'With Miss Levering? said Hermione Heriot's aunt. 'I can't do it. 'No, no all that's no good. She only laughs. 'Oh, breathed the lady, relieved, 'she looks upon you as a boy. 'Such nonsense, he burst out suddenly.
