Possible combined airshows
Do you think with dwindling budgets that a possible merger of RIAT and farnborough into one show would be a possibility. Hold it at Fairford and have the trade show during the week and public weekends

They tried that before in about 2000 from memory and No it didn't work then
Re: Possible combined airshows
Two very different events, although there is a lot of business carried on at RIAT by some of the major manufacturers in attendance, it is a Air Show. Farnborough is an out and out sales event which had a public display tagged on the end. Riat did some years ago had some trade days and tried turned itself into a Arms Fair but I don't think it was suspenseful.

Aside from the fact that Farnborough has actually dropped the airshow weekend, as of last year.
Alas the 2020 show is already a victim of the current situation
