Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2025 General Discussion Thread

From memory, there was a single Greek Mirage 2000 on static at The Boscombe Air show in 1990. It came for the special 'Battle of Britain Salute'. So technically it has been to RIAT, although at that time it was IAT.

Wednesday 5th June

There seems to be a lot of cars already along lane, forest and viewing enclosure. Are we expecting a lot of activity, at the moment can't hear anything running.

She's been butchered I'm afraid, several sections taken by road to South Wales Aviation Museum. Murder most Horrid for what was a beautiful, graceful aircraft.

Re: RIAT (wet) Friday

Oh to have been there, well done on such a wonderful shot and for being brave enough to risk wrecking your camera. (I had a fall into the sea last year and wrote my camera off, so am now purely a 'fair weather' photographer!)

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread

It's such a shame, the dratted British weather strikes again. Bought Friday and Saturday tickets plus mobility scooter hire for both days, but at the mo we are sat eating ice creams in a lovely warm and dry Ice Cream Parlour in Cirencester instead and already thinking of next year's event.

Parking at 27

The police have moved all vehicles that were parked up out the way on the grass/footpath along the main road, with advice that 'Gloucester constabulary' will be issuing tickets to anyone who parks there.
