Red Arrows to appear at Air Tattoo

The Red Arrows.will be making an appearance at this summer's Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) at RAF Fairford.

Back at full strength with a full team of nine jets, the Red Arrows will be celebrating their 60th anniversary with a display that will bring in many formations and shapes not seen in years.

In addition to the Red Arrows, RIAT will have two fantastic fast jet solo displays. First, the Eurofighter Typhoon. A fan favourite that has a real impact with its high-octane display. Second is the F-35B, this year performing a full display with a mixture of high-speed passes, tight turns, and its iconic hover.

Finally, the RIAT will have the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Friday visitors will be treated to a series of flypasts, whilst on Saturday and Sunday, there will be a very special display which will see the Lancaster accompanied by four historic fighter aircraft.

Alongside the RAF announcement, RIAT also has a whole host of aircraft from QinetiQ attending the static display. It aims to park these alongside other British flight test aircraft for the 'Pushing the boundaries' theme.

On midnight Sunday, March 10, all discounted prices on enclosures will be ending, as well as Super Early Bird Sunday general admission tickets.

The Air Tattoo, which generally attracts around 170,000 visitors, takes place from July 19-21.
