RIAT Cancellation – Update 25th July 2008
You will now be aware that due to the sudden and unusually heavy rainfall, a decision was made by the organisers of the Royal International Air Tattoo to cancel the airshow on both Saturday, July 12 and Sunday July 13.
The decision was taken following lengthy discussions between the organisers, police and other safety services. It was based on concerns for our visitors and the disappointing conclusion was that we could not fully safeguard them.
Despite a huge effort by everyone involved to improve the conditions of the waterlogged public car parks, it became clear that significant areas of the fields and of the showground were unusable.
Please see our Ticket Refund Update and our comprehensive Question & Answer document for further information.
