Our big set piece of the year - Flight's 100 Greatest - was revealed last night at a glitzy party held at the TAG Aviation building at Farnborough.

The 18,000 + votes resulted in our definitive list of the top moments, people, engines and aircraft from the last 100 years of aviation.

The Apollo 11 1969 moon landing came in as The Greatest, with the Boeing 747, R-R Merlin, Wright Bros and Supermarine Spitfire winning the other category shortlists.

Thanks to everyone who participated in nominating and voting in this spectacular public poll. It certainly is a suitable way to help celebrate Flight's 100th Anniversary year.
