    I have been to fairford international air tattoo (RIAT) many times now and so decided to review it. The air tattoo is based at the Fairford airbase near Swindon in Wiltshire. HISTORY The Fairford base was originally built in 1944 having prominant uses in world war II for the British and American air forces. Although the base is now classed as a standby base, meaning it is not used all the time, it was still a base for the United States Air Force up until the end of 2010. This however apparently changed in September 2010, with the Americans planning to pull back and just help maintain Fairford ... more

    Advantages Advantages a real good day out

    Disadvantages Disadvantages tickets seem expensive but you get a lot for your money

    Every year at RAF Fairford the Royal International Air Tattoo is held. Well that is not exactly true as last year because of all the rain it was cancelled. This was a huge disappointment and there was a lot of discussions on the line of why wasnt there a plan set out for if it does rain. This year they are going to choose visitors at random on the day to park on the base and make the fields more robust and have a trackway so if it rains no one will get stuck in the mud. Fairford is in Gloucestershire, 8 miles from Cirencester, 18 from Swindon. This year it is being held 18th and 19th July. The ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great fun, Large number of aircraft on display, air displays from 09.30-18.30

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cost of tickets

    The Royal International Air Tatto is by-far Europe's biggest Military Airshow. It is held once a year at Royal Air Force Fairford, it is subsequently leased to the United States Air Force. I visit the airshow on a yearly basis, it is one I could never miss. I simply gaze in amazement at the sheer volume of multi-million dollar aircraft on show. The airfield is extremely large, with the runway spanning around 2 miles long. There are flying displays gonig on throughout the day between the hours of 09.30 and 18.30. There is a mixture that is sure to impress every kind of person, from the die-hard ... more

    Advantages Advantages Get to see bombs close up, get to see who is racing us to the bottom.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Brain washes our society into thinking that we do not have to make cuts in CO2

    From the slient majority: We hate the way that you make killing fun and that you give our kids free entry to the event while we are trying to teach them about global respsonsibility. We hate the way that you glorfy competition between nations when the planet's survival depends on nations cooperating. We hate the way that you claim to represent the people who defend our security but ridicule the science of climate change. We hate the way that you are an advert for the aviation industry, yet you pretend to be a charity. We hate the way that the companies at your airshow will be the same ones ... more
